This report highlights the limited research and recognition of UK female veterans and their unique experiences and needs. With only 13.6% of the total veteran population being women, there is a 

lack of understanding about their post-service requirements and whether existing services cater to them. The UK government, through the Office for Veterans’ Affairs, has commissioned this qualitative research to explore the experiences of female veterans and improve the support offered to them. This report details findings on the impact of military service on physical and mental health, accessing support services, key civilian life issues, and public perceptions of UK female veterans.
