YWCA ATX

YWCA ATX YWCA IS ON A MISSION to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families They come for job training and career counseling.

YWCA is the oldest and largest multicultural women's organization in the world. Across the globe, we have more than 25 million members in 122 countries, including 2 million members in 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 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. YWCA associations are the bedrock of the organization. We are in almost every community nationwide, and our services range from Childcare and Job Training, to Violence Prevention and Leadership Training and more. YWCA staffers, volunteers and friends are your neighbors, family members, co-workers. To find out how you can help your community contact: (512) 326-1222 or e-mail us at info@ywcaaustin.org

For the second year in a row, progress toward equal pay has moved backward. Women earned 83.6 cents for every dollar earned by men in 2023. That dropped to 82.7 cents in 2024—and preliminary data shows women earning just 82.1 cents in 2025.

At YWCA, we know economic justice requires accountability and action—and we aren’t going back. Equal pay is essential to stability, dignity, and opportunity for women and families.

More than half a century after Dr. Dorothy I. Height introduced YWCA’s One Imperative — to eliminate racism, wherever it exists, by any means necessary — the movement continues to lead with courage and conviction.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Height! Your vision for a world free from racism drives our work every single day.

For the last 2 weeks, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) has been convening with a shared sense of purpose to advance gender equality and women’s rights globally.

CSW is an official Commission of the United Nations that convenes every March at the UN Headquarters (HQ) in New York connecting advocates, diplomats, and youth leaders from around the world. As a mission-aligned non-governmental organization (NGO), YWCA USA has consultative status and participates in UNCSW activities every year. World YWCA as well as many other international YWCAs attend with their own delegations.

Ten delegates were selected from across YWCA’s network of 193 Local Associations to represent YWCA USA’s mission and advocacy priorities. Reflecting the powerful diversity of our associations and their staff, delegates participated in programming and events hosted by UN Women.

The outcomes and recommendations of each session are forwarded to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the Commission’s parent body, for follow-up.

We can't wait to see what has come from this year's CSW session! Thanks to our sister YWCAs for representing YWCA locally, nationally, and globally.

A message from YWCA USA CEO Margaret Mitchell: “Dolores Huerta has spent her entire life transforming the lives of women and workers. Today, she transforms them again by showing survivors everywhere that truth does not have an expiration date, that courage is not diminished by age, and that silence can finally, on one’s own terms, be broken.” Read full statement here: https://bit.ly/4cZbjEP

“Starting with our work supporting the Suffragette movement, YWCA has always viewed civic participation as a cornerstone of our commitment to building a world where women, girls, and all people can thrive.” - Margaret Mitchell, YWCA USA CEO.
