MISSION
The Gender Equity Centre is a centre for all Lakehead University students.
We initiate and support positive Feminist-Womanist action concerning gender, socio-economic status, ethnicity, religion, culture, family life, sexual orientation, gender identity and difference in physical or mental abilities.
Working from an anti-oppressive and feminist framework, this is a safe and inclusive place to meet new people, access resources, and get involved. We encourage communication, action, awareness, self-reflection and compassion.
LUSU Radio Hour every Thursday, 10-11 am and Queer Radio on Mondays, 6-7 pm. Visit LU radio.ca for the live-stream & more cool shows!

...
Because I love them.
Because I know what it feels like to be powerless.
Because I would never want to hurt another person.
Because my uniform does not define the work I do.
Because I am good at my job whether I am wearing a collar or not.
And because that's basic respect."
