The Gender Empowerment Centre is an inclusive space, focused on the needs of self-identified women, non-binary, trans and gender non-conforming folks to organize, network, access resources, attend workshops and events, study, and relax. Our space is open to both University of Victoria students and community members.

The Gender Empowerment Centre provides a safe and supportive space to build an anti-oppression community through sharing, learning, and teaching. We value all experiences and offer the resources necessary to advocate for yourself and others. As a Centre we are committed to constantly re-assessing and adapting in order to better host an anti-oppressive space. We commit to consistently re-evaluating our practices and welcome critical feedback so that we may better practice being an intersectional feminist, queer positive, trans positive, decolonizing, anti-racist space. It is vital that the community recognize it as such and feel welcome.

The Gender Empowerment Centre is governed by a feminist collective that uses a consensus-based decision making model and is driven by volunteer participation.
