Courageous and loving acts by women
YWCA of Finland
YWCA is a movement of women of all ages who work courageously to help each other and the whole world. We want to build an equal, just and caring society, in which everyone can live and act safely. Our advocacy and communications focus on issues of equality. We bring girls and women together and support them at different stages of life.
We are part of a worldwide YWCA movement that unites girls and women in 120 countries. We strengthen the leadership and social capital of girls and young women in collaboration with the international movement.
The YWCA of Finland was established in 1896 and is one of the oldest women’s organizations in the country. We are an ecumenical Christian movement.
We gather at YWCA’s 22 local associations to do various activities together, learn and socialise. Three of the associations are Swedish-speaking. YWCA of Finland is the Finnish umbrella organization that supports and unites the local YWCAs.
How we work:
- We love our neighbour – we are open and hospitable both locally and globally
- We work together – with us, you can grow to be brave through working as part of a group
- We respect everyone – we promote equality by respecting everybody’s human dignity and rights
Terrible Mothers (Kamalat äidit®) offers peer support to mothers of adolescent children.
Power Sisters (Voimasiskot™) supports all women at unique moments in their life.
