Our mission is to bring about greater gender equality and an understanding of the impact of visual media.
Media bias and the social norms it perpetuates are important contributors to inequity – and we can change them.
We are a 501c3 non-profit organization, and we welcome all, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. We are non-partisan, non-profit, feminist, and pro-choice. We collaborate with like-minded organizations to increase our impact, and while our action is locally focused, our commitment to gender equality is international.
We welcome everyone -- women, LGBTQIA people, men, non-binary people – to join our efforts. We believe everyone deserves to be free from harmful gender stereotypes, biases, and discrimination, and that long-term systemic change is the only way to bring about that societal shift.
We host a long-running international Film Festival and a monthly feminist book club, organize issue-oriented gatherings, participate in public demonstrations that advance our cause, walk to draw attention to gender-based violence, socialize at a monthly drop-in, and much more.
For 25 years, we have hosted the Through Women’s Eyes International Film Festival, featuring films by and about women. In addition, we host a monthly book club focusing on international women authors, organize issue-oriented gatherings, collaborate at a monthly drop-in, and more.
