Week Without Violence

YWCA Hartford Region recognizes the annual Week Without Violence program in October, in partnership with our YWCA sister organizations across the country and around the globe. Together, we are working to end violence against women and girls.

Throughout the week, we invite you to join us to share information and stories, advocate, and work together to end gender-based violence.
