Decades ago we set out on a path to be a strong voice for women. Today, YWCA Canada is at the forefront of the critical issues facing women, girls  and gender diverse people in the country.

From ending gender based violence, alleviating poverty, supporting trauma informed practice, and offering leadership programs for girls and young women, YWCAs are leading a local response across the country on critical issues. We are ready to connect you with a diverse group of YWCA leaders and subject matter experts across Canada.
