Center for Women and Gender Equity

West Chester University provides lactation spaces to support individuals who chestfeed on campus. Each room offers a clean, secure, and private space for individuals who need to pump or nurse. Individuals should bring any personal supplies needed with them. Peer educators in the CW&GE are currently doing a thorough inventory of the lactation spaces on campus. This includes taking photos of each space and noting what changes need to be made to best serve our communities' needs. This work will ensure that our students, faculty and staff are empowered with what they need to support their chestfeeding efforts. Members of our community who use the lactation spaces are encouraged to reach out to CWGE@wcupa.edu with any questions, needs, or concerns.

 

The Book Club aims to diversify everyone’s bookshelves in a way that spans beyond just educational literature. We want to see trans representation on fantasy, Black representation in romance, and all other identities that span all other genres.

Through weekly Instagram live videos, we discuss books that give this representation, highlighting the authors that write them and the communities they reach. Our goal is not to tell you how to feel about a particular story, rather, we want to give the opportunity to see different faces and hear different voices in the books we choose to feature.

Some of these books have included; To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han, The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta, and The Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, Old Enough by Haley Jakobson, and many more.
