The Power Gap Is Still Real.
Gender inequality remains one of the most urgent challenges of our time. Worldwide, one in three women will experience gender-based violence in their lifetime. Women perform at least two and a half times more unpaid care work than men. Over two billion women and girls lack access to any form of social protection. Despite decades of commitments, at the current pace, it will take more than 120 years to close the global gender gap. The issue isn’t a lack of ideas: it’s a lack of power and resources for those already leading change.
A Movement Generations Have Built.
For over 170 years, the World YWCA has united women across generations, faiths, and borders to advance justice, peace, and equality. We are a global movement rooted in local realities, present in more than 100 countries, and led by young women shaping the future alongside those who came before them. Between 2019 and 2023, our initiatives impacted 73.7 million people, including 33.9 million young women.
The Work Isn’t Done. And We’re Not Done Working.
When you invest in the World YWCA, you help sustain and expand safe spaces for women to grow, lead, and drive change in their own communities and on the global stage. You invest in leadership that is bold, intergenerational, and grounded in solidarity. You fuel a movement that is rewriting what power looks like, and ensure the next generation of women can lead, thrive, and shape the future on their terms.
