Purpose
To better
balance the power structure between men and women, which will in turn
improve gender relations in society and give both genders the strength
& courage to work towards equality.
The group
works to create, maintain, & actively promote a community supporting gender equality at Butler University, to provide a source
of education about health, safety, politics, & labor as they relate to
female and male perspectives in society, & to address and increase
awareness of sexism and inequality on campus.
History
"Demia"
is the name of B,U.'s founder's daughter, who was one of the 1st women to
get a college education.
The
organization was created in the fall of 1991 in response to the need for a
feminisit community on campus in order to create an environment of support
& activism.
