Today we celebrate the women who are leading with purpose to meet the challenges of today and shape a better world for tomorrow.

Celebrating 15 years of WCHRI

Achieving gender equity happens when we end gender discrimination and gender-based violence, increase access to health and reproductive care, and achieve pay equity for women’s participation in the economy.

The University of Alberta’s scholars and community contribute towards intersectional gender-equity, which recognizes other structures of oppression, with exciting research and projects in women’s health, business, arts, science, and law.
