Learn more about our Public Policy Work from Gabriella Archuleta, YWCA Utah’s Vice President of Race & Gender Equity, and Director of Public Policy, Advocacy, YWCA Utah
YWCA Utah is a leading voice for advocacy and empowerment. Our public policy work recognizes the need to make systemic changes to improve the lives of all marginalized people. Our public policy agenda centers racial and gender equity in affordable housing, childcare, domestic and sexual violence, mental health, and reproductive justice.
