YWCA San Antonio is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
115 Years of Eliminating Racism and Empowering Women
YWCA is on a mission and YWCA San Antonio is making it our own!
"We achieve our mission by removing barriers for women, especially women of color, to break the cycle of poverty and thrive. When women empower themselves, they empower their families and communities."
- Francesca Rattray, CEO YWCA San Antonio
Our Film Projects:
La Cuenta Pendiente - Outstanding Balance Telenovela
Through powerful storytelling and culturally relevant narratives, La Cuenta Pendiente (Outstanding Balance) explores themes of racism, sexism, wage inequality, domestic violence, immigration struggles, poverty, and the challenges of single-parent childcare. The series highlights the lived experiences of women and families navigating these hardships while showcasing the strength of community collaboration as a pathway to justice and equity.
Why can’t they just?
“Why Can’t They Just…?” shares the stories of women, served by YWCA and within the YWCA community, who have been experiencing poverty – from intergenerational to situational – and explores the systemic barriers that prevent them from living better lives and realizing their goals.
