Thank you very much.
That's absolutely vital. Women need to be able to do their jobs. They need to be safe while doing their jobs, to be protected and to be enabled to be all that they can be.
I always go back and say that we asked women to deploy in the field with boots that did not fit their feet and with rucksacks that were way too big. How can you be the best that you can be if the equipment is designed for a six-foot tall man?
It's hard enough.... We have to be honest. Physically, we are at a disadvantage against some men. If we're put at a disadvantage additionally because of the poor equipment we have, how can we be equal to or as good as, or even better than men? It's super important that we have the right equipment to protect our women.
