Northwestern Women’s Center: A hub for student-led activism and community care

May 19, 2025

Northwestern undergraduate Ariel Paul did not know that the Northwestern Women’s Center existed or that it was inclusive of trans people like themself until they went inside the building for the first time last year for the center’s Trans Care Day. 

That day, the center offered free haircuts, so Paul, a Black trans-masculine person, decided to get a lineup, which they had never gotten before.
