Taking action where it counts

To reduce exclusion and social and gender inequality, as well as all forms of violence against women and girls, we must reach beyond our daily and Individual actions for women and girls. That is why we have organized, collaborated, and participated in many events and campaigns to promote mobilization, engagement, and awareness around women’s issues.

Finances & Governance

The YWCA Board of Directors adheres to good governance practices to safeguard the organization’s financial sustainability and to disseminate a clear vision for the future. Through its work and that of its committees, the board ensures that the strategic directions and objectives of the YWCA are respected.

The strength of the YWCA lies in the qualities, skills and experience of its administrators, as well as of those of its management team and staff. Faced with financial realities specific to the community environment, the board adopts a proactive management approach and maintains open communication within the organization.
