The objective of that office is to address some of the underlying challenges faced by women veterans who are coming to the department—and those who aren't—and ensuring that the access to services is equitable across the department. The office has a very broad scope. They consult with areas and every function across the department at every level to ensure that when each area is administering its own responsibilities, it is keeping in mind the needs and concerns of women and LGBTQ2 veterans who might otherwise be experiencing barriers to access or barriers to programs and services.
