What is safe space? October 28, 2008
Posted by queenswomenscentre in Home.comments closed
The Women’s Centre understands safe space to be an environment that is non-oppressive, non-judgmental, non-hierarchical, and confidential. Safe space is also a state of mind. It starts with the individual and extends outward. Safe space is about respect and empowerment of oneself and others. The Women’s Centre is committed to ensuring and promoting safe space and expects all its members and users to do the same.

The Women’s Centre at Queen’s functions first and foremost as a safe space for women and their allies, on campus and beyond to the Kingston community. The Women’s Centre strives to be a point of connection between various different feminist and gender inclusive initiatives within Kingston. The Women’s Centre can support these initiatives financially, through use of our resource library, by way of volunteer involvement and advocacy, and by opening up our space. Members of the Women’s Centre intend to make full use of its resources in order to foster greater community, health and wellbeing. It is our belief that safe space is a priority, not a luxury, and our mission to bring this concept to life outside the centre walls.
