South House is a student-funded, volunteer-driven resource centre that seeks to address and advocate for anti-oppression issues within a feminist framework. South House consciously recognizes that struggles against all forms of oppression are feminist issues. We are first and foremost a resource centre which provides resources and support for students, faculty, staff, and community members on such issues. The South House recognizes that you cannot work for a society free of sexism and patriarchy without also working for a society free of all forms of oppression. Therefore, applications from people marginalized communities including, but not limited to people of colour, queer people, transgender people and dis/abled people,single parents, working class people, members of ethnic minorities, and immigrants are prioritized.
