Join the #YWCAsisterhood during this special time on Instagram or Twitter by using #YWCAQuarantine.

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 💛

Stay safe and home. Keep away from vulnerable groups. This is the time for phone calls, emails and video calls. Give yourself time to read, cook, have a living room workout or a guided breathing session.
We need to show solidarity and collaborate against the virus🌏
Wash your hands, stay home, call a friend and keep distance to each other. And follow @who

Thank you to all our #ywcasisters and brothers who work in hospitals, mental health institutions, shelters, child protecting services and nursing homes. You are our sheroes and heroes.

For the rest of us: Keep distance to each other and stay home. We can only fight the virus together. In that way we help our health professionals aid the ill and #flattenthecurve .

Call a friend. FaceTime your family. Keep distance to people in the grocery store. Help an old neighbour or a friend in the risk group shop medicines or food. Listen to some calming music. Do some yoga via YouTube. Make good food. But stay home. Especially if you have minor symptoms.

This is not just the flu. You might be transmitting the virus to the vulnerable without having symptoms. Solidarity✊🏼

Stay safe and keep your neighbours safe. You don’t know what their risks are. This is global.

UPDATE: We are postponing the General Assembly in Belgium in May due to the corona virus.

Now is a time for us all to cooperate, reschedule and be calm to help our health professionals, @WHO and our political leaders to reduce the impact of the epidemic. Wash your hands, stay home if sick and try to work from home if you can.

Take care🖤

By providing the same opportunities for women and girls in education, we #smashpowerstructures and empower women!💪👩‍🎓👩‍🏫🧑‍🏫👩‍🏭👩‍💻👩‍🔬👩‍💼👩‍🎨👩‍✈️👩‍⚖️👩‍🚀👩‍🚒🦸‍♀️. In Europe more women than men take higher education, but women are left behind financially due to reduced salaries compared to men and family obligations and pregnancies.

«Gender equality in education is guaranteed by law in EU Member States, so the issues are far more complex than simply that of gaining access to education for girls, as remains the problem in many developing countries. Yet despite the legal equality in the EU, inequalities persist because of the educational choices that girls make, which may prevent them from achieving the potential they show earlier in education»(@europeanparliament blog).
