Womxn’s Learning, Advocacy, and Support Centre

The Womxn’s Centre aims to be a safe (r) space for those who identify as Womyn but also anyone interested in gendered based issues. The Womyn’s Centre provides free male/female condoms, pregnancy tests, menstrual products, and a wealth of resources and material. The centre is home to the only Womyn’s only space on campus. All Womyn can use this quiet space for resting, prayer, breastfeeding, and self-care.

The word ‘woman’ refers to ‘of man’ implying that a woman’s identity is inherently reliant on man. We believe that Womyn deserve an identity of their own which is why the Womyn’s Centre embraces and celebrates a womyn-centred culture. In spelling Womyn with a “Y”, we recognize that womyn have diverse and different identities and roles which are not all defined by a relationships to men (or dictionaries)!
