@YWCalgary Transformation Campaign. Mobilizing community to ensure vulnerable women in #YYC have access to the support they need to thrive for decades to come.

It is in Canada that on average every six days a woman is killed by her partner or ex. That 636,000 people are sexually assaulted each year. That we have an epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women. https://t.co/xGw313bzFY

Those struggling with homelessness, poverty and domestic abuse never get a day off.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and marks the first of #16Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.

Together we can end gender-based violence by taking action and calling out toxic behaviours.

This week, the YW team said a final good-bye with mixed emotions to YW’s old building downtown. For nearly 50 years, the building located on 5th Avenue supported women and families in Calgary, initially as a hostel then transitional housing.
