Support our work

The YWCA is working towards a future that is free from gender-based violence.

48% of women in BC reported experiencing any form of gender-based violence, including psychological, emotional, financial, physical or sexual (Source: Statscan).

Every day, people in our community face violence because of their gender, gender expression or gender identity. Gender-based violence is a whole of society crisis that requires immediate and collective action at all levels. Support our programs, services and advocacy by giving a gift today.
