16/05/12: Simon Fraser University Men's Centre




The Current from CBC Radio (Highlights) show

Summary: There's controversy brewing at BC's Simon Fraser University. The Student Union has earmarked tens-of-thousands of dollars for a Men's centre to offer a safe space for men to discuss issues. The Women's Centre response was curt - suggesting the Men's Centre already exists everywhere else. But the man who runs one of the few Men's Centres in the country says it is time to acknowledge that men need shelter and space to confront everything from spousal abuse to mental health.
