Throwback to our #YWCAGA in 2018 in Bucharest. The European YWCA GA is our governing body where the YWCAs in Europe decide on the direction, strategy and leadership of European YWCA✨

First Sunday of Advent, we present some #YWCAhistory ⭐️ Our historical roots are in Christian theology, but the YWCA is inclusive of all womxn, regardless of faith, sexuality, origin, disability and ethnicity. Many YWCAs still have a biblical motto, some YWCA have a strong ecumenical foundation while others are secular. 🌏 Together we are a diverse and strong global movement!

In the 1930s and 40s many MAs adopted the motto: by love, serve one another (Galatians 5:13). The motto focuses on the need for cooperation and emotional sisterhood.🤝💙
