Our Mission
​The University of Toronto Women’s Association is a student-run association with the mission of equipping self-identifying women with effective resources and empowering them to tackle their goals.
Our Objectives
Our three objectives include:
​
-
Bring awareness to the social gaps and lack of opportunity in the professional industry for self-identifying women and provide a space to facilitate this conversation at the university level
-
Form a community wherein students can find a safe space to seek advice or support through our tailored programming while empowering members to seek out new experiences within and beyond post-secondary education
-
Educate and encourage the University of Toronto community to broaden their knowledge and practice allyship through participating in intentional campaign initiatives and events which promote female empowerment
We aim to achieve the objectives above through our unique campaigns, programming, and events. Our mentorship and membership program provides a chance for students to build their networks and create more personal relationships with like-minded professionals. We aim to be the bridge that enables students to interact with, and learn from, successful alumni that have effectively navigated their career paths since graduation. On the educational aspect, we aim to leverage our ever-growing social media platforms to inform our following, and the broader UofT student body, issues such as the wage gap, COVID’s unequal impacts on discriminated populations, and the Black Lives Matter movement through our exclusive weekly campaign #UTWAforBLM. As an attempt to fill the gaps in between our ongoing campaigns and programming, we intend on hosting various events and workshops that focus on programs often left unprioritized at UofT.
