The World YWCA’s advocacy agenda focuses on four
priority areas: peace with justice, human rights, women’s health and HIV/AIDS,
and sustainable development.
It harnesses the collective power of members in 122 countries towards a common global agenda, and it provides a platform for strengthening global awareness and solidarity on the critical issues affecting women worldwide. YWCA advocacy is also a powerful combination of grassroots development to improve the lives of women and girls, and international lobbying to ensure the protection and promotion of human rights and gender equality worldwide.
