OUR PURPOSE
The YWCA of Aotearoa-New Zealand works to empower women, especially young women, by enhancing their spiritual, physical, mental and cultural well-being.
We acknowledge our Christian and women's heritage, commit ourselves to Te Tiriti O Waitangi and to addressing all forms of oppression so women may together attain social and economic justice.
