[3] The Vancouver Women's Caucus (VWC) began in the summer of 1968 as an all female student club called the Feminist Action League.
[5] The advertisement prompted many phone calls, some even as far away as Saskatchewan;[4] this helped lead the members of the VWC to think larger than just issues on their university campus.
Most notably the group was involved in organizing the Abortion Caravan, which was a cross country protest opposing the 1969 amendments to the Criminal Code.
At SFU, they had their Abortion Counseling and Referral Service, in which they helped young women on campus who had found themselves with unwanted pregnancies, as well as gave, out information addressing birth control.
This committee focused on bringing awareness to the inequalities women faced not only while they were attending school, but also as they tried to pursue careers in education.
[5] Members of the group, specifically in the beginning, consisted of mostly of white, Canadian women who had already or were pursuing post-secondary education.
