Abstract

Уurieva O. Уu. The Functioning if Campus Women’s Centers in Canadian Universities.

The article examines the functioning of campus Women’s Centers in Canadian universities and their role in gender education implementation. The goals, objectives and main areas of work of the centers were analysed. It was found out that gender initiatives are mainly realized from the women’s perspective, while men’s interests remain underrepresented in the respective centers.
