Founded in 2007, the Service Women’s Action Network (SWAN) is the voice of all military women – past, present, and future. SWAN is a member-driven community network advocating for the individual and collective needs of service women. SWAN’s priorities are guided by its members, who include thousands of women and men, service members, and civilians alike.
SWAN is committed to seeing that all service women receive the opportunities, protections, benefits, and respect they deserve. Their goal is to ensure all service women and women veterans have access to the information, tools, and support they need to reach their personal and professional goals.
SWAN has been the only organization that advocates for and supports the needs of both service women and women veterans, regardless of rank, military branch, or years of experience. With over 40,000 nonprofits in America working to serve the needs of veterans and military personnel, this is an important distinction. While women service members and veterans have benefited from many support programs, the majority of them are still designed, by default, to meet the needs of men. SWAN is making sure that changes.
