Advocacy Frameworks for Change

At YWCA Regina, advocacy is about standing alongside women, children, and gender-diverse people—and using our voice to amplify theirs. We are committed to listening deeply, honouring lived experience, and challenging the systems and policies that cause harm. Rooted in relationships and grounded in trust, our advocacy work grows from the real stories we are privileged to hold. It’s not about speaking for others—it’s about ensuring those most impacted are heard, seen, and respected.

Whether we’re meeting with government leaders, building partnerships, or offering support through our programs, advocacy is woven into everything we do. We are committed to showing up with integrity and care—in the healing lodge, in community circles, and in moments of crisis. Advocacy, for us, is not separate from care—it is care. It’s how we create space for safety, dignity, and long-term change.
