This past year, human capacity was put to the ultimate test as, together, we faced a pandemic that rages on today, a racial reckoning that was long overdue, and a divisiveness in the country that threatened our very democracy. And yet, I marvel at our resilience. I have seen us rise up, lean in, and go above and beyond over and over again. I have admired how we lift each other up, dust each other off, and face the next challenge with confidence, optimism and energy.

Who We Are
20/ 21
YWCA Richmond is committed to continue doing the honest, ongoing, and uncomfortable work of rooting out injustice to advance our mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. This means using our voice, platform, and responsibility to push for action and long-term legal, economic, and societal change – to forge a more equitable Richmond. Our annual report contains important facts that make up the backdrop of the work we have invested in for 134 years. Our programs are part of an important solution as we work to decrease intimate partner violence and create pathways for individuals in the Greater Richmond region to build wealth and self-efficacy.
What We Do: At a Glance Last year, YWCA Richmond served 6,490 adults, children, and families across the Greater Richmond region. Our work educated the community on the effects of structural racism, moved individuals fleeing domestic and sexual violence into safe housing, helped navigate employment and the courts system and built resilience through free counseling and case management. Families attending the Sprout School were faced with tough health and economic choices. The Sprout School teachers and staff met those needs and provided full year, full day, affordable early childhood education, and infant care throughout the pandemic. Our work is rooted in equity and justice, and we honor and celebrate the resilience and victories of those we serve.

Virginia became the first southern state to declare racism a public health crisis. Creating equitable access to resources, however, does not fully address structural racism and eliminate racial inequities. Instead, understanding and addressing systemic racism from a public health lens serves as a critical approach to eliminating racial inequities and promoting safe, healthy, and thriving communities. Led by our partner organization, Voices for Virginia’s Children’s Racial Truth & Reconciliation VA Campaign, YWCA Richmond joined a coalition of 55 organizations and 285+ individuals to advocate for Virginia to declare racism as a public health crisis during the 2021 General Assembly. The resolution, sponsored by Del. Lashrecse Aird, serves as an opportunity to address

In March 2021, we relaunched the challenge with YWCA South Hampton Roads and Central Virginia and 50 other YWCA’s across the United States. Here in Virginia, we engaged over 3,000 people. The relaunch served as 21 days of opportunities to learn and reflect on reparations, sports, gender-based violence, and environmental racism. It created dedicated time to challenge ourselves and connect with others on issues and action items related to equity and justice.

Outstanding Women Awards _ For 41 years, YWCA Richmond has been celebrating extraordinary women leaders in our region. In 2020, we created a virtual celebration with 750 viewers, 11 sponsors and 9 powerful women. Together we raised $130,000 to support YWCA Richmond’s programming in racial justice, domestic & sexual violence and The Sprout School. The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the gender equity crisis across our region, our Commonwealth and our nation. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics consistently demonstrates that due to the pandemic, women dropped out of the labor force at a rate almost nine times higher than men. In January of 2021 alone, 275,000 women left the workforce, compared to 71,000 men. This will likely have lasting consequences for women in terms of employment gains, long-term economic power and financial security for women and families. Despite these looming setbacks, YWCA Richmond is proud to shine a light on the incredible leadership and contributions of women across sectors in our region. Your investment in this work is essential to the growth of access to opportunity for women in Virginia. We look forward to celebrating our 2021 honorees in the Fall.

Young Women’s Leadership Alliance (YWLA) _ Awareness and education must be followed by action. In 2020, our young women’s board, Young Women’s Leadership Alliance (YWLA), launched its first-ever Voices of Change series to inspire all to take a more active role in empowering women and eliminating racism. The three-part virtual series, sponsored by CarMax, centered the voices of women in our community who are championing racial and gender equity. Through authentic conversations with local leaders, advocates, and changemakers, Voices of Change is designed to inspire all to become change agents to promote justice and equity within our families, workplaces, schools, and communities. With topics ranging from community resilience and strength, economic empowerment, and leadership, we continue to create a space to enrich, share knowledge, and hold conversations on equity, opportunity, justice, and community change.

three and $16,910 for a family of two). In a survey of the average childcare costs across 50 states, Virginia ranks 10th out of 50 in a study of childcare costs nationwide. With Virginia women who are employed full time earning on average $3,712 per month, these costs account for approximately a third of their pre-tax salary- making going to work for working mothers an extremely costly endeavor.
The Sprout School provides full day, high-quality childcare and early education for children aged 2 months to 5 years old. Sprout embraces the Reggio Emilia teaching philosophy which encourages discovery, creativity and community. In September of 2020, the Sprout School began a brand-new school year in its new location on Bainbridge Street in the historic Manchester community. This long-awaited move provided the appropriate space to officially expand our programming to include infants. The addition of infant care services fills a void by meeting the demand for affordable, high-quality, full-day, fullyear care for children from birth to 5 years old, especially during a pandemic. Not only has the pandemic increased childcare needs, but it has caused a “She-cession” with working women and women of color choosing to reduce their hours or leave the workforce entirely because of a lack of affordable childcare. One of our infant care mothers, who works outside of the home, commented, “if not for the infant care program opening, I do not know what I would have done.” As has been widely reported but inadequately addressed at best, childcare accessibility is one of the major hurdles for women in the workforce. Even prior to the onset of COVID-19, the obstacles of obtaining accessible, affordable and flexible childcare played a huge role in keeping women out of the workforce or in limiting their ability to take on full time roles. The economics of childcare costs demonstrate why this is the case for many working mothers- the average cost of childcare in Virginia in 2019 was $14,063 per year (or approximately $1,172 monthly), well below the 2019 federal poverty level ($21,330 for a family of 8 YWCA RICHMOND ELIMINATING RACISM, EMPOWERING WOMEN
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, these pre-existing issues with childcare access became even more pressing. Many working mothers were suddenly faced with having to care for their children during virtual school while working. For women who were essential workers who could not remain in the home, the challenges that arose with online schooling and childcare were even more dire. This is especially true for working mothers in essential positions who could not remain in the home during the school day, and whom on average make less than women in non-essential roles. During the pandemic- while many centers have permanently or temporarily closed- childcare costs have increased exponentially. A report from the Center for American Progress found that costs had risen by as much as 47% for childcare centers and a whopping 70% for home-based care. On top of the already prohibitive (to the point of being exclusionary) costs for childcare, this drastically undermines the ability of families and especially of single working mothers to afford childcare.
women who are historically marginalized- more likely to fall into these categories, the childcare crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic is causing the most economic harm to women already struggling. Expanding our services to include high-quality and affordable infant care furthers the support that we provide Sprout School parents and caregivers so they can concentrate on their careers and/or pursue higher education opportunities without the stress of worrying about childcare. Last year, through our early education and infant care programs, we supported 46 new families and 121 individual students during the school year. Despite all the challenges caused by the pandemic and social distancing requirements, our Sprout School staff rose to the occasion, and our students flourished in the classroom. Mask mandates and social distancing did not restrict one moment of learning and in June we graduated 25 students, fully prepared to spread their wings and ready to succeed in kindergarten.

Between 1970 and 2000, the cost of care per child rose 200 percent; today, the average cost of care for families with children under 5 hovers around 10 percent of a family’s monthly income, with many families paying considerably more. Currently, Virginia is one of the six states with the largest income disparity for essential workers, with essential workers earning 27% less than other workers, almost 10% less than the nationwide average gap of 18%.

Domestic and Sexual Violence Services Violence against women has persisted as a nationwide crisis. It is pervasive; 1 in 3 women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV) during her lifetime. IPV can take several forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic and sexual abuse. This violence and its effects permeate into other facets of society, affecting the ability of women to engage in the workplace and within educational institutions and have long-lasting implications on their health and socio-economic standing. Indeed, this ongoing prevalence of violence perpetuated against women serves to hinder the progression of women within our society. Domestic violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence and family violence exists across communities and within every socioeconomic group. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing domestic violence crisis has only worsened. With more people remaining at home and unable to readily leave, violence, and in particular violence against women, has increased. A study conducted by the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice found that domestic violence had experienced an approximately 8.1% increase across the United States during 2020. YWCA Richmond’s Domestic and Sexual Violence program serves all individuals regardless of race, gender, age, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender identity or expression, faith, sexual orientation, disability, or English language ability in the Greater Richmond region. We provide comprehensive emergency and supportive services for survivors, and we partner with five domestic and sexual violence organizations through EmpowerNet, a regional collaborative created to ensure survivors have access to the support and resources they need to begin the journey of healing after experiencing trauma.
Emergency Services: • Access to a 24-Hour regional EmpowerNet Hotline • Safety Planning • Regional Hospital Accompaniment Response Team (R-HART) • Emergency Shelter • Crisis Case Management

Impact-Domestic and Sexual Violence Services: • 10,345_ Total number of contacts managed by the EmpowerNet Hotline. Managed contacts include inbound and outbound calls, care coordination for survivors, and calls for resources/referrals for non- domestic and sexual violence assistance. *See chart below for types of calls/contacts. • 1,839_ Total number of domestic and sexual violence into the EmpowerNet Hotline; 263 calls were the result of Richmond, VCU and VUU police officers conducting Lethality Assessment Protocol (LAP) when responding to intimate partner violence. • 70_ Regional Hospital Accompaniment Response Team (RHART) referrals were made by partners from Chesterfield County, Henrico County, and the City of Richmond. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, RHART Advocates provided resources and referrals to survivors by telephone or video chat because they were not allowed inside the hospital. • 134_ women and children established violence free homes through emergency shelter, rapid re-housing assistance, and other housing assistance programs and/or funding. Nationwide, approximately 63% of homeless women have experienced domestic violence in their adult lives (National Network to End Domestic Violence). According to the City of Richmond Strategic Plan to end Homelessness 2020 – 2030, 36.2% of the homeless population in the city have experienced domestic violence in their lifetime. Of those experiencing domestic violence, 50% had experienced it in the past year. Survivors of IPV are considered homeless the minute they leave their residence with an abuser. They are the most at-risk for becoming chronically homeless if emergency housing and support services aren’t available. • 86_ Survivors met with our Regional Employment Navigator to work toward securing employment, job training/ certifications or additional education. The number one
12 YWCA RICHMOND ELIMINATING RACISM, EMPOWERING WOMEN
reason survivors stay in abusive relationships or return to abuse is because they cannot afford to leave or stay safe. In fact, nationally 73% of survivors report financial insecurity as the reason for staying with their abuser. • 110_ Survivors received trauma informed short or long-term individual and/or group counseling services • 165_ Survivors received community case management that included safety planning, information and referral, financial assistance, rapid re-housing and other housing assistance, and coordination of services
Regional EmpowerNet Hotline: In FY21, the EmpowerNet Hotline had a total of 10,345 contacts, an average of 862 contacts per month or 28 contacts per day. On average, each domestic and sexual violence call results in 4 follow up contacts. 33% of Hotline calls were requests for supportive services (counseling, court advocacy, etc) 16% were for emergency shelter 8% were lethality assessments 17% were homelessness related
• 565_ Survivors received legal advocacy including information and accompaniment on protective orders and criminal matters as well as criminal and civil advocacy. Protections for survivors of intimate partner violence and domestic violence are difficult to obtain, and criminal cases involving domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault and intimate partner violence remain difficult to prove. This serves as a deterrent to survivors from pursuing legal action. In the case of sexual assault, multiple studies have demonstrated that sexual assault remains heavily underreported to police and assaults that are reported are unlikely to result in conviction for the offender. • 279_ Community members, including high school and college students, learned healthy relationship building and violence prevention strategies at 21 community outreach events and programs.
