Today, as we celebrate International Day of the Girl Child, we recognize that girls are leading the way in addressing the biggest challenges impacting our community. At YWCA Northern New Jersey, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to dream big, feel safe, and lead change.

We are committed to breaking down barriers to education, leadership, and economic empowerment so girls can build resilient futures for themselves and their communities.

Through mentorship, career readiness, safe spaces, and financial literacy, we equip girls to be frontline leaders and change-makers.

Your gift helps us nurture the next generation of empowered girls who will lead our world through crisis and beyond. 🧡

In the wake of the Sean “Diddy” Combs Trial verdict, we are reminded of the deep courage it takes to speak truth to power, especially in a world that often protects the powerful. Whether or not justice in this case or any other was served the way it should have been, we want survivors to know that your story and your healing matter.

To those still finding their voice, and to those who have spoken and been unheard — we hold space for you. Your safety, your dignity, and your recovery are what matter most.

Although healing does not happen in a courtroom, our expert healingSPACE team can support you when you are ready to embark on the journey. We provide a safe space for confidential trauma-informed therapy and support services at no cost. We are here to support you 24/7 by calling 201-487-2227.

🚨 Sexual assault and domestic violence programs are in crisis. Federal funding that helps survivors access safety, healing, and support after violence is at risk of being slashed.

Congress must act — lives depend on it.
