Defence Committee: Women in the Armed Forces: Follow-Up

Committee hears from witnesses

The Defence Committee is conducting a follow-up inquiry into women's representation and experiences in the UK Armed Forces. This session will hear oral evidence on the implementation of previous recommendations and progress on issues affecting female service personnel, including recruitment, retention, career progression, and workplace culture.

Women comprise a growing but still small proportion of UK armed forces personnel. This inquiry affects recruitment capacity, military effectiveness, and workplace fairness across the defence sector. The findings influence MoD policy, retention rates, and the Armed Forces' ability to meet staffing targets amid broader recruitment challenges.
