Women's

The Women’s Department is your space to feel empowered, informed, and supported throughout your university journey. Here’s a glimpse into who we are and how we’re here for YOU! 🌟

The Objective: Supporting Women, Raising Voices 

This year, your Women's Officers are Eya Takrouni (She/her), and Khwaish Jadeja (She/her)

The Women's Department is passionate about promoting women's rights, raising awareness for female health issues, and making sure all female students feel heard, seen, and understood. From understanding financial independence and career options to building safe places, we are here to help you navigate through these problems and celebrate milestones ☺️

We have an engaging program lineup intended to improve your confidence while also providing you with important skills and information, such as:

1. Self-defence classes every two weeks

2. Engaging Workshops:

  • Safer Partying: Learn how to identify spiked drinks and stay alert in social settings.
  • Awareness of Sexual Harassment and Assault: Know how to spot, stop, and get assistance in dangerous circumstances.
  • Employability Week: Boost your career prospects with tips and tools to ace the professional world.
  • Wellness unveiled: Discussing female health issues with interactive nutritional planning.

Furthermore, we believe in equality for all female-identifying students. Because having access to these necessities is a right, not a privilege, we continue to advocate for free period products availability across all university buildings.

The Women’s Department is here for you every step of the way. Whether you're looking for advice, want to study, or simply want to meet like-minded people, here is the place for you to make it happen.
