Advocacy

YWCA Greenwich advocates on policy issues at the local, state and federal levels that disproportionately impact women and girls. We work with a coalition of partners including YWCAs from across the state and organizations throughout Greenwich. Over the last year our collective voices were heard and laws were amended or enacted concerning domestic violence, pay history, human trafficking, paid family and medical leave, and sexual assault and sexual harassment.
