Annual Report 2008-2009
Invest in women. Involve all women. Protect our community. Drawn from the YWCA’s Nairobi 2007 Call to Action on HIV and AIDS, this simple call echoes the key messages the World YWCA has used to frame the efforts illustrated in this annual report.
In its advocacy messages, the World YWCA called for an increased investment in women and girls, an end to stigma and discrimination and for governments, civil society and community leaders, including women leaders, to ensure the safety and security of women and girls.
This annual report illustrates the impact the World YWCA’s investment and involvement has had on women and member associations. By building capacity and providing tools for good management, the World YWCA supported member associations to effectively deliver services and programmes to the community.
The achievements described in this reporting period would not have been possible without the dedicated support of board members, staff, volunteers, partners, donors and YWCAs around the world.
