October 22,1991 THEUBYSSEY/9 Editorial Women's space

The Women's Centre in SUB is distinct from the Women Students' Lounge and Office in Brock Hall, in that it is run by students and it is proactive rather than being simply infor­ mative. There is a need for women-only space. In lan act of resistance to a misogynistic society, women students formed a space of their own. Women can enter SUB 130 to be safe -from violence, oppression and the perceptions of men. The much-needed space is there for all women, whether they consider themselves to be feminists or not It is a place to meet other women, to discuss problems and ideas. Although they work in tandem with -XWZ&WVX D6AP PMxy SKETCH other women's organizations, the centre is independent and functions specifically for us.
