The YWCA of Palestine is a non-governmental association initiated in 1893 by informal groups of Christian women and was formally established in Jerusalem in 1918. 
We envision a free and democratic civil society where women and youth are empowered to exercise and protect their political, economic, and social rights. The YWCA of Palestine has three thematic areas of work: Leadership Development and Civic Engagement, Economic Justice, and Just Peace. We are a rights-based association where all our programs and advocacy are based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

We believe that young people are the agents of change and given the right opportunities and support, they can build a brighter future for all that promotes freedom and justice. We thus aim to empower women, young women and girls through enhancing their accessibility to educational and cultural activities, creating and developing economic opportunities, raising awareness, and advocating for their individual and national rights. We also focus on providing young people with leadership and representation opportunities within the Palestinian society.
