Description

Women have been faced with various levels of oppression. Depending on the area of service, women can influence servant leadership practices within an organization. People see women as natures which can hinder the process of welcoming women into leadership positions. Throughout history, the perspective of women leaders have had very negative connotations. In our current society, research on resources readily available to women has been limited. Women service members should have the same dignity and respect as their male counterparts. The rate of women veterans and their dependents being homeless without economic, medical, or mental health support shows a strong need to educate the community and our military providers. Research reveal only one in five veterans screen for PTSD with only 31% actually speaking to a provider to discuss the concern. The implementation of new standard policy to enhance the care of women upon departure from the military could become a great asset for our country. Servant leadership principles can help support hour women hero’s.
