needing a refresher course regardless of physical ability. Our class
focus is based in self care and boundary setting when othes are
violating your physical or emotional integrity. Learn basic
psychological defense and safety planning. Learn how to throw
devastating blows to your opponents weak areas using your knees, elbows,
fists and feet. Learn defense against things such as chokes, hair pulls
and bear hugs. Bring your questions and enthusiasm!<br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>Services Not Silence</i> is a group of concerned students that believe the inadequate sexual assault services on campus silences survivors. </span><br />

I f<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">eel that Womyn are severely underappreciated, oppressed, neglected, taken dvantage of, used, mistreated, unloved, unwelcomed...the list is virtually endless. I WANT TO SUPPORT AND EMPOWER YOU and I also have such a strong desire to recieve this from you. What do you love about being Womyn? What do you hate? What resources do you need? How can I help you? I am creating a space, held every other Sunday from 2:00-4:00pm, in which you will be WELCOMED, LOVED, APPRECIATED, RESPECTED, SUPPORTED and hopefully EMPOWERED! I want to listen to you, talk to you, be surrounded by you! We can talk, giggle, cry, make music, watch movies, read poetry, snuggle, bake, do arts and crafts, play outside, anything you feel like doing in the company of other amazing Womyn! I will provide drinks and treats. Please bring anything that inspires you (music, art, poetry, images, books, words)!<br />
<br />
All ages, sexualties, races, ethnicities are welcomed and encouraged! Bring all your friends!<br />

In order to do this, we must actively combat all forms of oppression that affect women and the greater campus community.TESC Womyn's Resource Centerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12671315253341095602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600993786615783271.post-26039903375682121362011-05-10T16:42:00.000-07:002011-05-10T16:42:42.800-07:00WRC HistoryThe Evergreen Women's Resource Center is one of the oldest student organizations on campus; it has been active since the seventies. The WRC is much more than a student group, it has evolved from its roots as a woman's center to a safe space for all woman-identified and female bodied people on campus. It is accessible for those seeking books, zines, menstrual products, pregnancy tests, referrals and support. The events that the WRC sponsors promote a cohesive woman's community on campus. <br />
<br />
We are creating this online space so that people who may be less comfortable with face-to-face interaction can find information about who we are and what we do - as well as asking any questions they may want answers to or help with. <br />
<br />
This is also a way for us to keep interested persons up to date with what the WRC has been doing - so welcome! <br />
