We are a trans-inclusive organization and welcome any trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people.

We are a feminist based, pro-choice organization that engages in action, prevention and education to promote the equality of all gender minorities in order to bring about an end to sexual violence.

Our volunteers are actively involved in different aspects of Centre work (i.e. public speaking, advocacy, fundraising, etc) and are expected to attend the monthly meetings.
