Women's Issues
The YWCA USA was established in 1855 and is one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations operating in the United States. Our mission is to empower women and eliminate racism.
Across the globe, we have more than 25 million members in 122 countries, including 2 million members in 300 local associations in the United States.More important than the numbers, is our mission to eliminate racism and empower women. We provide safe places for women and girls, build strong women leaders, and advocate for women's rights and civil rights in Congress.Women come to us in times of crisis, as survivors of rape or domestic violence. They come for job training and career counseling. They come for childcare. They come for health and fitness. They come for a variety of reasons. But they come. And they leave with a renewed spirit, new skills, and stronger lives.
