Beginning over 20 years ago as the Rape Prevention Education Program, then the Women's Resource Center and now the Center for Gender Equity (CGE), this versatile campus unit has become an integral part of UCSF's teaching, research, patient care and public service mission. In this role, the Center seeks to create programs and initiate policies that sustain an inclusive and equitable campus community.
CGE has evolved to both accommodate and anticipate the changing needs of the UCSF community, as well as changes in the broader social context, with respect to what constitutes meaningful gender analysis and which tools are most effective in addressing persistent inequities.
The programs, services and resources provided under the three components of CGE - Women and Gender Resources, Sexual and Relationship Violence Resources and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resources - are informed by over five decades of collective professional training and experience. Staff areas of expertise include:
- adult education
- group process and facilitation
- program planning
- public policy
- community outreach
- social and cultural studies
- public health
The Center for Gender Equity's goals include:
- Promoting an understanding of the role of gender and sexuality in our lives and our society
- Supporting equity and achievement for women as they pursue their intellectual, professional, and personal goals.
- Enhancing the quality of women's and men's lives by providing services that address the myriad of diverse backgrounds and experiences of all people.
- Serving as a liaison for women and men to existing campus and community services.
- Providing outreach to the Bay Area community.
- Participating in the formulation and review of policies, procedures and programs relating to gender equity.
