actualizing activities. The Women’s Resource Center
(WRC) and its purpose are known campus-wide. Women,

9. Our World,
Our Problem,
Our Mission
Why are there so many
organizations to answer
the problem, but no
answers to solve the
problem? I wonder if
every one in the world
could not see color, what
would it be like. Would
there be suffering, social
in justices, oppression,
discrimination, or
poverty? Would we need
organizations like the
center for Women and
Culture. What do you
think when you see this
