Annual events and independent programs within the WRC:
Love Your Body Day
Visit the WRC's table on Ho Plaza for Love Your Body Day (mid-October every year) for free goodies and to celebrate bodies of all shapes and sizes. We also sponsor events such as film screenings, speakers and discussions to engage our community around body image, a culture of perfection, and critiques of the media's insistence that there is only one beauty ideal. Stay tuned for more information about the 2011 LYBD celebrations!

Consent Ed
Consent Ed is a peer-to-peer education program that engages Cornell women in conversations about sex, consent, and social responsibility. Trained facilitators teach skills and provide information to help others intervene in situations where an individual's well-being may be at risk due to consent being an issue. Consent Ed believes that all individuals deserve to have bodily autonomy, the right to say "no" to any kind of sexual activity, and that an enthusiastic and freely-given YES should be sought and given in every encounter.

Students Acting for Gender Equality (SAGE) is feminist, anti-racist and pro-choice organization that believes that most effective activism is informed activism.
