Biden, Harris Call to Empower Women in Military on International Women's Day

On International Women’s Day, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris made remarks on the need to remove barriers for women in the military. “Recruiting more women to our military, adjusting policies to retain more women, enforcing policies to protect women and ensure they are heard, and advancing more women on fair and equal footing will without any question make our nation safer,” asserted Harris. Biden echoed the need for more work to be done, including an “all-hands-on-deck effort…to end the scourge of sexual assault in the military.”
