Northern Women's Centre

The Northern Women’s Centre (NWC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for the diverse needs of women in Northern British Columbia. The centre is committed to providing a 24-hour safe space for women while advancing gender equality.

Located on the University of Northern British Columbia's Prince George campus, the NWC fosters an environment of openness, creating a comfort zone where women feel safe and supported. The encouragement and resources available at the centre help women build greater self-worth and self-esteem, empowering them to move forward with confidence.

Free and Accessible Menstrual Products

A group of campus groups, including the Northern B.C. Graduate Society (NBCGSS) and the Prince George Public Interest Research Group (PGPIRG), developed a pilot project to install dispensers in high-traffic washrooms. The project was inspired by the United Way's Period Promise campaign.

Free and Accessible Birth Control Products

There are free birth control products available outside the Northern Women's Centre which is next to the UNBC Security Office.

All-Gender Restrooms on Campus

Students at UNBC are taking steps to make the campus more welcoming. New signs have been installed on the University’s single occupant washrooms, designating them as gender neutral.

Consent Campaign

Consent is more than a yes—it’s an enthusiastic, informed choice. During the month of September, the #IGetConsent campaign aims to help the UNBC Community learn about what enthusiastic consent looks like and why it matters.
