The Cornell Women's Resource Center is dedicated to serving the entire Cornell community with mutual respect, honesty, and openness. The CWRC values women and men coming together to end sexism, along with all forms of oppression and maintaining an environment where all are free to affirm and celebrate their differences and commonalties.

Get your Consent t-shirt!
The Sexual Violence Resistance Network in cooperation with the Women's Resource Center proudly announces the arrival of Consent shirts! The shirts were created by an alumnus last semester in order to raise awareness of the importance of consent in sexual relationships. Each shirt is printed on American Apparel, soft, union-made, sweat-free materials. They are $10 each and all proceeds go to the Advocacy Center of Ithaca. Please help support this initiative by purchasing a t-shirt for yourself or a friend!
The Sexual Violence Resistance Network is a safe space for allies and survivors of sexual assault to organize and direct actions against rape culture in our community. We are open to everyone and meet throughout the school year. For more information, please e-mail SVResistanceNetwork@gmail.com
To support the Advocacy Center and order your t-shirt, please contact Elise (enb25). Sizes small through extra large are available. (please note: the shirts run small)
