YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley

invites us to reflect not only on history, but on our responsibility today.

At Your YWCA, eliminating racism is central to everything we do. We honor this day by reaffirming our commitment to advancing equity, challenging injustice, and driving meaningful change in every community we serve.

Thank you to KTVU Fox 2 for helping elevate an important conversation and for speaking with our CEO, Adriana Caldera Boroffice, about the recent rise in severe domestic violence cases impacting our community.

At Your YWCA, we know one of the most dangerous times for someone experiencing violence can be when they are leaving or preparing to leave a relationship. Survivors should never have to navigate these moments alone.

Knowing where to turn matters. If you or someone you know is currently experiencing violence, or feels ready to begin the healing process, YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley offers confidential, trauma-informed support through our 24/7 Crisis Support Line.
