Mission Statement
PearlSpace (Howe Sound Women's Centre) promotes equality and empowerment of women, Two Spirit, gender-diverse, non-binary, trans people, and children/youth. We work from an intersectional* feminist framework. By responding to and working for change, we honour the diversity of lives impacted by gender-based violence and help to meet the evolving needs of communities throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor and Stl’atl’imx regions. *Intersectionality is the interconnectedness of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.
