Women veterans call for greater representation in battle for services

Under the Trump administration, the Pentagon has removed several high-ranking female military officers and blocked the promotions of dozens more. Rebecca Cornell du Houx, executive director of the Sisters in Arms Center in Augusta, which provides emergency shelter to women veterans and their children, said women leaders are more likely to champion policies demanding safety and respect. "It is really necessary that we create a culture where sexual assault, harassment isn't permitted, and it goes back to ensuring that we have women in leadership positions," Cornell du Houx asserted.
