Did you know you can visit a #YWCAhostel in London, UK? In the same city as #YWCA was founded in 1855, there is still a #safespace for #youngwomen. Visit @kfukhjemmet in Holland Park!

We hope for better times after the pandemic and a possibility to keep our global sisterhoood alive👭

We need to feel connected even though we must keep distance. Sisterhood have no borders, and the #YWCA stays strong and together during this time.

Throwback to #ywcaworldcouncil2019 in South Africa some months ago!

A quite different time for the whole world, #youngwomen and women from all regions meeting, discussing and sharing #sisterhood. This is not possible nowadays.

Keep the YWCA sisterhood: Reach out to a #YWCAsister and stay in touch. Together we are stronger 💛

Don’t demand too much of yourself these days. You don’t need to be productive, you don’t need to work out or start running. Just let yourself feel, be and take care of your #mental health. Call a friend or family, sleep and seek calmness.

Our world is extremely different from what we are used to, our everyday lives are changed. But normal will come. This too have an end and will pass. Maybe a new normal will emerge, but our sisterhood stays the same. Take care🌈

All over the world communities are on lock down and households isolate. For many women the COVID pandemic forces them to stay home with their abuser. The stressful situation may also increase domestic violence and anger. Thank you @nordicywca for focusing on this issue on #ThursdaysInBlack

Repost @nordicywca : Nowadays I, along with a lot of others, need time to rewind. Today after bringing the girls to my aunt’s for the weekend I went to the ocean for a little “me-time”. Thursday is for me a special day ever since World Council in Johannesburg! There I got to know the #thursdaysinblack campaign.
During this epidemic and worldwide crisis women all over are having difficult times! Today my thoughts goes to all the women that during lockdown and physically distancing are living under gruesome conditions with their abuser!
Let’s pray for them and keep on giving the cause and campaign focus! 🙏🏼

How do you cope with physical distancing? How is it working from home? Or maybe you are working in health care, cleaning or in a grocery store? How do you take care of your mental and physical health?👭👬👫 We understand people are afraid and feeling vulnerable at this time. Some of you might be at risk, or know someone who are at risk? Some might be sick. Let us take care of each other by showing love and stand in solidarity with our #YWCAsisters 💛
