Education. Empowerment. Advocacy.

The Women’s Resource Center works to advance gender equity at UWM and beyond. We use an intersectional feminist lens to advocate for the education, empowerment, and agency of women and those who’ve faced misogyny. 

Through our programs and resources, all students can explore and learn about feminism, meet friends and find community.
