This Women’s Health Week, we’re shining a light on the important work of Prof. Sharon Lawn and her Flinders University research team. Her recent study, 'No Women's Land' examines the challenges women face in a predominantly male population in the military. Women in the military face unique challenges. Most research focuses on men’s experiences, leaving women’s stories untold. It is important we understand this to support diversity and recruitment in the military. A recent study interviewed 22 Australian women veterans to understand their journey in a male majority military culture and their transition to civilian life. Here are the key findings: Fitting In: Women often struggle to fit in and manage their identity within the military. Gender-Based Challenges: They face challenges like proving their worth, trying to blend in, and using survival strategies in a culture that values masculinity. Being Valued Less: Women often feel less valued than men, facing issues like misogyny, sexual harassment, and a lack of recognition for their specific health needs and roles as mothers. Transitioning to Civilian Life: After leaving the military, women veterans often feel invisible and unsupported in the civilian world.

Join us in honouring the courage and sacrifice of our service men and women at the 17th Annual Remembrance Day Breakfast on Monday, 11 November 2024 at the Adelaide Convention Centre.  Let us remember those who served, reflect on their experiences and embrace the future because of their bravery.
