Welcome to the Women's Center!
Mission:
The Women's Center promotes a campus community that values the safety, equality, and intellectual
advancement of women at West Chester University.
The Women's Center serves the diverse needs of WCU women identified people and their male allies. We provide:
- Confidential support, assistance, and safe space for WCU women in crisis.
- Educational programs that address a wide range of social justice issues that affect the success, well-being, and empowerment of women worldwide.
- Leadership and volunteer opportunities for women that build confidence and enhance career goals.
- Information and referrals about issues that disproportionately impact women, such as sexual assault, relationship violence, sexual harassment, unplanned pregnancy, and disordered eating.
- Special events, workshops, and trainings that promote awareness of the ways in which gender bias intersects with racism, classism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression.
"As women, we have been taught either to ignore our differences or to view them as causes for separation and suspicion rather than as forces for change. Without community, there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and her oppression. But community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist."
-Audre Lorde, "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House"
