Women's Centre

Established in 1975, the York University Women's Centre became the first University-based Women's Centre in Canada. It continues to thrive as York's women-only space and offers a wide variety of activities and services to the York community, which includes undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty.

Recognizing that the Women's community on campus has diverse needs, it is our mandate to try to fulfill them. We offer peer counselling, referral services, library and other resources and above all, a safe, comfortable environment. The Centre also acts as a base for the provision of support and resources for social activism and education. We also sponsor/co-sponsor a wide variety of events including panel discussions, reading, entertainment events, self-defense classes and much, much more.

The York Women's Centre is located in 328 Student Centre. For further information, call 416-736-2100 ext. 33484.
