About World YWCA

The World YWCA aims to reach 100 million young women and girls and transform power structures to end gender inequality by 2035. Established in 1855, the World YWCA is the world’s oldest women’s movement. With member associations across continents, it works to fulfil human rights and make gender equality a reality. The World YWCA is a learning organisation with recognised mentorship across generations, where 50% of the World Board members are aged 30 and under. The World YWCA aims to develop women and girls' leadership and collective power world wide to achieve justice, peace, health, human dignity, freedom, and a sustainable environment for all people. The World YWCA mobilises and connects millions of young women around transformational change and provides leadership opportunities world wide. It also actively influences policies, regulations, and social and community norms that prevent women from realising their rights and leadership potential. The World YWCA has three strategic priorities:

● Management and governance excellence towards Goal 2035
● Strategic partnerships and communication towards Goal 2035
● Engagement and mobilisation of girls, young women, and women towards Goal 2035
