Herizons: Cal Women Uniting, a project of the Gender Equity Resource Center, was created to foster a diverse, cross-cultural women’s community at Cal, cultivate dialogue and promote women’s leadership.

The Gender Equity Resource Center invites anyone who ever has, ever will, or currently does identify as a woman to join this project and create a dynamic multicultural women’s community where women can support and learn from one another. Help us create the community that will support and empower you!
