YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. “We achieve our mission by removing barriers for women, especially women of color, to break the cycle of poverty and thrive. When women empower themselves, they empower their families and communities.” – Francesca Rattray, CEO YWCA San Antonio.
