Welcome to the WRRC
Our Mission and Vision
Mission
The Women’s Resources and Research Center (WRRC) challenges all forms of oppression, through the lens of gender equity. The WRRC provides education, advocacy, resources, and a safe space that centers the experiences of womxn, transgender, femme, and non-binary individuals.
Vision
We envision a university in which people of all genders have the resources and support they need to not only be retained, but to thrive. This vision extends beyond our campus community to the world as a whole. We are working toward a world in which liberation and gender equity have been achieved for all.
Why a Women's Center?
The Women’s Resources and Research Center provides opportunities to promote gender equity in the UC Davis community. Although women make up the majority of students on college campuses, they still navigate issues of hostile campus climate, sexism, and genderism. The WRRC seeks to challenge this and all forms of oppression through advocacy and education.
The WRRC is also a great place to meet friends and build community. The WRRC is a resource for everyone, promoting gender equity in the UC Davis community. It is critical for everyone to have space to study, relax, be inspired, and laugh in the company of folks who believe in their full potential. There has been much progress toward gender equity, and yet, many of the issues that motivated UC Davis students, staff and faculty to create a supportive space for women on campus in the 1970s still persist on campus and in our communities.
