YWCA: Eliminating racism, empowering women

About Our Mission

YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

YWCA has been at the forefront of the most pressing social movements for more than 160 years — from voting rights to civil rights, from affordable housing to pay equity, from violence prevention to health care reform. Today, we combine programming and advocacy in order to generate institutional change in three key areas: racial justice and civil rights, empowerment and economic advancement of women and girls, and health and safety of women and girls.

Get Help

YWCA reaches 2.3 million women, girls and their families through more than 200 local associations in 45 states and the District of Columbia.

We provide critical programs, including domestic and sexual violence services, through 12,500 staff members and 52,000 volunteers.
