Public Policy Priorities

  • Safety from Gender-Based Violence

    Women and girls of all ages, income levels, racial and ethnic communities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religious affiliations continue to experience violence in the form of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and trafficking.

  • Child Care

    Child care and early learning programs are essential for working women & for our nation’s economic future. Unfortunately, systemic barriers have disproportionately impacted left many without access to quality, affordable care.

  • Women's Economic Security

    Women are the primary source of financial support for many families and bear significant caretaking responsibilities at home. At YWCA, we believe no one should have to choose between their livelihoods and their health, their family, or their safety.
