Week Without Violence

About Week Without Violence

Week Without Violence has been a YWCA national campaign since 1995 – 30 years!

In partnership with World YWCA, Week Without Violence is the YWCA movement’s opportunity to come together and advocate for a safer world for women, girls and families. This year’s theme, Safe Beginnings: Protecting Mothers, Nurturing Futures, is all about how we can support moms and their children as they build hopeful, healthier futures. Throughout the week of October 20-25th, we invite you in to learn about YW services and elevate stories from real YWCA program participants to amplify their voices, honor their resilience, and inspire action.
