Our Advocacy Work
We strive toward a world where all are safe and free, where all voices are uplifted and heard, and where all barriers to access, participation and success are removed. That vision ignites our collective imagination and guides our organizational practice.
At YWCA Delaware, advocacy and community engagement are foundational to the work we do. We advocate for community action, public policies and practices that improve economic security, health, safety and social equity for individuals and their families.
We focus on:
1. Advancing equality, safety, and justice with a focus on the criminal justice system, accessible voting and elections, environmental justice, education, and other systems.
2. Supporting survivors and working to prevent domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of gender-based violence as demand for services continues to rise. Work towards closing the gap in health disparities.
3. Ensuring safe, fair, and inclusive workplaces with opportunities for all. This includes addressing childcare needs and providing services that support success in entrepreneurship and workforce development.
4. Providing services to keep women and children in safe and affordable housing. We serve those who are going through the experience of being unhoused by providing safe and affordable housing for families.
5. Supporting efforts to strengthen non-profit programs and human services for families in Delaware
