National YWCA Week Without Violence

For more than 20 years, YWCA has set aside one week in October to hold events, share information and stories, advocate, and more with a common goal in mind: together, we can end gender-based violence.

Join YWCA USA and YWCAs across the country for 2021's Week Without Violence. Themed "Beyond Resilience: From Surviving to Thriving," this year's event features a social media day of action, a Capitol Hill call-in, a panel discussion, and more.

Visit YWCA USA's website to learn how you can get involved to help end gender-based violence in our community.
