The UTM Women & Gender Equity Centre (WGEC) is a student-run organization dedicated to making campus safer and more accessible for women, trans, and non-binary students at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM). They aim to dismantle barriers that UTM students face – specifically sexuality, gender, and gender identity – by advocating for unheard voices, providing support to students from marginalized communities via services (such as peer support, gender affirming subsidies, and office hours), and educating the student population on various topics regarding sex, gender, and sexual health. This group provides a space for UTM students and staff to connect with and access a support system based on mutual respect and understanding of everyone. The office is a place where anyone affected by misogyny, sexism, or transphobia can take up space and speak freely about the struggles and triumphs of being a gender minority on campus, and receive the support they need to thrive.
