The YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association) is a world-wide organisation. In the United Kingdom, the name has been truncated to YWCA and no longer uses the original expanded name due to the fact that Christianity no longer plays a part in the organisation.

The YWCA of U.S.A. is an organizational member of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, which advocates gun control.
