Wounded women veterans face higher levels of loneliness, isolation: report

"The findings, released Friday, come from a survey conducted in early 2020 of nearly 4,900 women involved with WWP.

While the sample is not indicative of all women veterans in America today, it gives a closer look at some of the specific struggles that disabled female veterans face in their transition to civilian life.

The 80 percent of women who reported loneliness compares to 63 percent of wounded male veterans who experience the same type of isolation. Farrell said that shows even as advocates look for ways to better serve all wounded veterans, specific outreach needs to be made to women to ensure their more pronounced issues are addressed."
