THE
YWCA AND WHAT WE DO...
The YWCA has actively worked to eliminate
racism and empower women since 1858. We were there through
suffrage. We held the first interracial conference in the
South in the early 20th century. We fought for civil rights
and affirmative action, but we can't merely legislate our
way towards equality. We also need to change people's hearts
and minds. We need to stop the routine degradation of women,
whether it's in pop culture or in their homes. We need to
continue the conversation on racial equality, because people
of color are still not completely accepted in American society.
This is precisely what we intend to do. Whether
it's improving an abuse victim's situation, providing quality
childcare for a single mother, training women for non-traditional
careers, or advocating for racial justice, we will live our
mission and do whatever it takes to eliminate racism and empower
women.
