Meet our board member Helena! 👋
Among many other things, Helena is amazing at keeping track of social media updates and how to reach members. That means that when you see a post here, on Twitter or Facebook, there's a big chance she's the one behind it 😉💪👏@helena.kozinska #leadership @worldywca #ywcaleaders #womenempoweringwomen #womenleader #women

Act now: end child labour!
Almost one in ten of all children worldwide are in child labour. While the number of children in child labour has declined by 94 million since 2000, the rate of reduction slowed by two-thirds in recent years. Target 8.7 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals calls for an end to child labour in all its forms by 2025. How can the world community get firmly on track toward eliminating child labour?

Meet the treasurer: Melody! 👋
As we do not have any hired staff in the European YWCA, the treasurer has an important job looking after the economy.
Melody chose to take on a task she had not done before, trusting herself and her own abilities to learn new things, and we applaud her for this and her good work 👏👏
