Values

 

As part of YWCA Canada, we share the values of the World YWCA movement.

A Women's Perspective:
Women must take leadership in shaping society's direction in order to achieve equity and equality for all women.

Difference and Diversity:
In order to achieve social and other forms of justice, we must embrace difference and diversity among peoples.

The Whole Person:
Strength, wisdom, and character come from the balanced development of the whole person in body, mind, and spirit.

 

Community Mindedness:
Healthy communities, free from violence, racism, and other abuses of power, nurture the whole person. Individuals committed to equity advance the growth of such communities.

 

Global Interdependence:
The worldwide struggle for equity and equality interconnects all women.
