The Northwestern Ontario Women's Centre - Public Education

To engage women, local organizations and the public in education on gender and intersecting issues, we present legal clinics, information sessions and workshops on a variety of topics related to family and criminal law, economic issues, gender-based violence and women's safety. We believe that many of our institutional systems view issues like violence against women and poverty as the problems of individuals, rather than social problems. This approach can make violence and oppressions like colonialism, racism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism and their intersections invisible, especially to those who work in those systems. When women are dealing with their own problems, they may not see them in the larger context of oppression, which can inhibit their ability to solve them and cause them to blame themselves.
