STRATEGIC GOAL FOUR
By 2019 the YWCA has developed enduring partnerships
and connectivity that enhances its capacity to influence
and create positive outcomes on issues and services
impacting women.
The 2015/2016 year saw YWCA
Adelaide working collaboratively on
a number of projects with our
members and with new community
partners and sponsors.
We continue to be inspired by the
support of our most valued partners,
our Members. In April 2016 in
commemoration of World YWCA Day,
the YWCA Adelaide celebrated by
hosting a Round the World Breakfast
for 50 people at the Jade Monkey on
Flinders Street in Adelaide.
EMBED SLIDESHOW HERE
We invited our YWCA Adelaide
members and friends to gather over
breakfast and connect with each other
and the work of the YWCA. In keeping
with the global theme, guest speakers
shared their international experiences,
including a report from the World
YWCA Council held in October 2015.
We also welcomed our guest from YWCA Tokyo, Miho Fujiware, who is engaging with
YWCA Adelaide this year on our young women’s leadership programs.
We continue to be a member of the Family & Domestic Violence Advocacy Network
(FADVAN) and the Addressing Violence Alliance (AVA), collaborating on events and
submissions, including the White Ribbon March in Adelaide in November 2015.
YWCA Adelaide is honoured to continue our relationship with Adelaide University through
hosts research students each semester from their Arts Internship Program, including
Grace Oliver Dearman and Saidha Gotboudine.
