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!

Today is Abortion Providers Appreciation Day. We firmly believe in every person's right to control their body and that Abortion is Healthcare. The Umbrella Clinic provides emergency contraception (like Plan B) and abortion medication (Mifegymiso). We also assist clients to access surgical abortions (although we do not provide surgeries). Here is an article we participated in with TVO Ontario about Abortion access in Northern Ontario www.tvo.org/article/these-ontario-organizations-are-trying-to-make-abortion-more-accessible.
