We have been extremely successful in promoting the culture of the military as it

relates to women who have served and who are transitioning back into civilian life

and have experienced sexual assault and other unfortunate situations while serving

in the armed forces. Our “Women Veteran’s Day Tributes” of 2006 through 2009

allowing individuals of the veteran's community to network providing support and

activities to women who have served in the armed forces. We believe that

Philadelphia is the to realize the importance of supporting our organization in

making a significant impact in what is one of our nation’s most quieted but

extremely complex and life-changing dilemma any woman can experience. We

continue to reach out to other women's groups with a desire of providing hope and

healing to hurting women in Philadelphia and our country.
