The YWCA Australia policy platform identifies the key issues we are most concerned about and guides our advocacy and campaign work.

These issues have been identified by our members and staff and the women and girls who use YWCA services across Australia.

Our key policy issues

Our seven key issues are violence against women, housing, economic wellbeing, health and wellbeing, education and training, the environment and peace.

We work for social, economic, political and legal change in these areas.

Our current priorities

Currently we are focusing our work on five areas.

These are violence against women and girls, housing, economic wellbeing, health and wellbeing and ongoing work on women's leadership.
