Are Men Allowed at the WRC? 

Yes! The Women's Resource Centre is a space for individuals of all genders to work towards gender equality.  We recognize the unique experiences of female gendered individuals and cater our services and resources to their needs. 

Our Male Allies come together to talk about how gender stereotypes affect men, and to develop strategies for supporting the work of the Women's Resource Centre.

Is the Women's Resource Centre a Feminist Organization?

This depends on how you define, understand, and "do" feminism!  Our feminism recognizes that women face unique structural and societal barriers to achieving their potential and that feminism should involve all individuals in working towards gender equality.  We "do" feminism by providing all individuals the resources necessary to make informed decisions in their lives.
