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!

We recognize that during the COVID 19 pandemic healing and coping has become complex and complicated. We at the GEC are offering a peer support space where survivors of violence can gather and chat about anything and everything in a safe and respectful way. Please join us if you are able every Thursday or email us at gec@lusu.ca if you would like to arrange a private zoom support room. The link below is a recurring meeting, and will remain open for the duration of the semester.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
It’s happening globally. It’s happening nationally. It’s happening provincially. It’s happening HERE.
While the pandemic of violence against women is not new, its not inevitable unless we stay silent.
