With the declaration of a State of Emergency and local governments’ requests to refrain from leaving homes and opening businesses for the prevention of COVID-19 spread, there is a concern that even more people would face economic hardship in the coming days. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication has announced the outline of a special payment on 20th April, as a response to this situation.
YWCA（Young Women’s Christian Association）is an international NGO where, upon a Christian foundation, women from around the world exceed the barriers of language and cultures and work together to encourage women’s participation in society and to realize a peaceful world where human rights, health and environment is protected. The movement began in Great Britain in 1855, and nowadays, it works in more than 100 countries throughout the world.
