About the Women's Center

Mission Statement

The Women’s Center uses a feminist approach to provide support, advocacy, resources and education to the UCSB community. We value and respect all genders, bodies, sexual orientations, and racial and ethnic identities while challenging all forms of oppression.We work towards creating a campus environment that is safe, equitable, and just.


Vision Statement

We envision a world free of oppression and violence. We strive for inclusion and equity through our programs, services, and work. We celebrate the richness of our differences while working collectively to create a community of leaders, scholars, and global citizens for the future.

The Women’s Center is located in the newly constructed Student Resource Building (SRB). The Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity and the Re-Entry/Non-Traditional Student Resource Center are both located in the SRB as well. These three physical spaces comprise the elements of the UCSB Women’s Center.
