100 Years HISTORY
 Foundation and focus on women's liberation
In 1905, YWCA of Japan was founded by Japanese Christian women under the leadership
of the foreign missionaries sent by World YWCA. In 1906 YWCA of Japan was affiliated to World YWCA. Its activities focused on
liberation of women and improvement of social welfare.
Focus on peace and human rights
At the end of World War Ⅱ, we YWCA of Japan, determined to do our best for building peace. This
results from serious repentance that we had not made enough efforts to
resist the war. Our activities have grounded in belief that true peace
does not simply mean the absence of war, but rather means the situation
in which all people are able to live with dignity, being free from want
and fear.
Change of Membership Qualification
In 1970, YWCA of Japan decided to join open to its membership to any women of
all faiths.
100th Anniversary
In 2005, YWCA of Japan celebrates its centenary with 27 local YWCAs which serve
people of all generations with various background.
