2025 GFWC INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE TO SPOTLIGHT DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE —  Saturday, September 27, 2025, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) International Day of Service (IDS), formerly GFWC National Day of Service (NDS), will focus on domestic and sexual violence.

According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that between 736 million to 852 million women, aged 15 years or older, have experienced domestic and sexual violence. Within the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 16 million people are affected every year. As GFWC collaborates with various national networks, we look forward to expanding our knowledge of the issues while engaging members and communities to unite in addressing this pervasive societal epidemic. Community service projects for the 2025 GFWC IDS can focus on any area of domestic and sexual violence.

There are over 830 GFWC individual Clubs, State Federations, District and Area Federation groups and International Clubs registered for this Event.  60+ from California.
