The Association’s Women Affairs Department and Glocal Y co-organised the first “Friday Chat” online programme on 21 August, to discuss how the society stereotypes women about the role in the kitchen. 

YWCA Women Affairs Department launches the “PeaceMaker” programme. As stated in the Bible, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Mattew 5:9), we would like to be the peacemaker by linking up churches, the Association’s members and volunteers to distribute anti-epidemic goods and daily necessities to the single-parent families and the grassroots in Kowloon district. 

HKYWCA Women Affairs Department’s “Joy@Zonta” Mental Wellness Programme for Women helped women facing marital adversity to understand oneself with sandpainting workshops.  

Sponsored by Women Helping Women Hong Kong, HKYWCA Women's Affairs Department held a party to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Self-strengthening Club (the Club), and to gather single mothers to share their stories.   

HKYWCA celebrated the 10th anniversary of the ChariTea programme and distributed red-dates tea bags all over Hong Kong to send our blessings to women on the International Women’s Day.

Our staffs and volunteers sent out the red-dates tea bags with our warmest blessings in different districts e.g. Tin Shui Wai, Cheung Sha Wan, Shatin, Wan Chai etc. on March 8. We adopted the design of a letter for the tea bags, hoping that it carries the meaningful messages, and acts as a medium to send love and care to our important ones.

今天是三八國際婦女節，香港基督教女青年會作為本地歷史最悠久的婦女團體，為顯示對婦女服務的承擔，自今年起將把每年的三八國際婦女節訂為「3‧8女青日」，希望每年藉著不同主題，呼籲各界齊心關注婦女議題。女青並榮幸地邀得社會福利署助理署長 (家庭及兒童福利) 馮民重，聯同香港基督教女青年會會長胡秀霞MH, JP及香港基督教女青年會總幹事楊建霞，主持今天假赤柱廣場舉行的「3‧8女青日啟動禮暨《五味人生》新書發布會」。

女青會長胡秀霞MH, JP致歡迎辭時表示：「在上世紀女青倡議廢除蓄婢、爭取一夫一妻制、男女同工同酬等等。到今天，透過輔導與支援，還有調查和研究，女青深切體會到，現今香港婦女仍然面對著形形色色的挑戰，例如婦女貧窮問題、單親媽媽數目上升、婦女參與社會決策比率仍偏低等等。」她續道：「女青因此將每年的三月八日定為『3‧8女青日』，藉以彰顯女青對婦女服務的承擔、決心和委身，並且呼籲更多有心人士攜手並肩為婦女發聲。」
