About us
YWCA USA is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities. We are one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations in the nation, serving over 2 million women, girls, and their families. YWCA has been at the forefront of the most pressing social movements for more than 160 years — from voting rights to civil rights, from affordable housing to pay equity, from violence prevention to health care reform. Today, we combine programming and advocacy in order to generate institutional change in three key areas: racial justice and civil rights, empowerment and economic advancement of women and girls, and health and safety of women and girls..

On #AANHPIEqualPayDay, we highlight the persistent wage gap impacting Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women. While the average earnings show a 92-cent gap, many AANHPI women earn far less, facing barriers to pay equity due to racial and gender biases. #ONEYWCA

Our #YWomenVote research found that an overwhelming majority - 92% - of Gen Z women want to see lawmakers strengthen equal pay laws. The wage gap isn't a legacy we should continue passing down to young women in the workforce. We can and must do better. #EqualPayDay

Women have had enough. It's time for our elected leaders to do more to close the gender wage gap by passing the #PaycheckFairness Act, which will be introduced today in the 119th Congress. #EqualPayDay
