What is GenEq?
The Gender Equity Resource Center, fondly referred to as GenEq, is a UC Berkeley campus community center committed to fostering an inclusive Cal experience for all. GenEq is the campus location where students, faculty, staff and alumni connect for resources, services, education and leadership programs related to gender and sexuality.
The programs and services of the Gender Equity Resource Center are focused into four key areas:
- Women
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender (LGBT)
- Sexual & Dating Violence
- Hate Crimes & Bias Driven Incidents
Through our many programs and services we strive to:
- Provide a space for respectful dialogue about sexuality and gender
- Illuminate the interrelationship of sexism, homophobia and gender bias & violence
- Create a campus free of violence and hate
- Provide leadership opportunities
- Advocate on behalf of survivors of sexual, hate, dating and gender violence
- Foster a community of women and LGBT leaders
- Be a portal to campus and community resources on LGBT, Women, and the many intersections of identity (eg race, class, ability, etc...)
The Gender Equity Resource Center (GenEq) is a component of Campus Life and Leadership. Campus Life and Leadership is a department within the division of Student Affairs, University of California, Berkeley.
