Our work responds to persistent barriers and challenges, particularly the systemic inequities that limit access to healthcare. Our aim has remained the same since our emergence, one that focuses on empowering women to take control of their own health through self-advocacy, information, knowledge, community involvement and activism.

Since 1971, the Vancouver Women’s Health Collective (VWHC) has spent over five decades advocating for health equity for all who self-identify as women, non-binary, Two-Spirit, and gender diverse persons. Over the years, VWHC evolved as a peer-led, feminist, and community-centered collective, offering free, low-barrier(with boundaries) services—counselling, resource access, drop-in supports, advocacy, energy exchange programs, workshops, and clinics facilitated in partnership with institutions like BC Women’s Hospital, Greater Vancouver Food Bank, The Heart Tattoo Society, and Naturopathic campuses.
