Everyone deserves to feel safe in the spaces they are in, especially at school. When I say women I include anyone who identifies as a woman including transgender women, femmes and non-binary people. Currently, the few women's only hours at the RAWC are at conflicting times such as lunch time and the evening when students may have already gone home. Along with that, all of the night hours are only for swimming classes so a student wanting to feel safe exercising outside of the pool might not be able to if they are in classes during the day. Classes are also led by instructors. If there was a women's only room, women would be able to exercise by themselves. I created this petition to show the support from the UTM community for more women's only gym opportunities. I ask you to sign this petition if you would like more women's only hours at the RAWC, at different times to accomodate everyones schedules, or if you would be interested in an inclusive, safe, women's only room. This petition is being used for a school project. Thank you.
