The document discusses post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women soldiers. It notes that women soldiers experience high rates of sexual trauma and mental health issues like PTSD after returning from war. The document cites several experts and studies that find women veterans experience more sexual and mental trauma compared to male veterans, and face challenges in getting support from the VA healthcare system. Images with captions about feelings of hesitation, loneliness, depression, and anger are included to represent the struggles faced by women with PTSD.
