The URI Women’s Center partners with others in the URI community to provide an empowering space which promotes social justice for every member of the community, regardless of gender, gender identity, body, ability, sexual orientation, race, spirituality, and ethnicity. Community members are encouraged to engage and foster continual dialogue on gender and issues that disproportionately affect woman-identified persons and their allies. By developing, supporting and advocating woman-identified persons’ abilities, talents, values and diverse identities, the URI Women’s Center supports all university students, faculty and staff in expanding their positive potential, agency and life experience.
