Election post
Hello UCL!
I’m Elisa, your Women's Officer, and thrilled to be running for re-election. In 2023, I’ve worked closely with the SU and UCL societies to bring practical changes on campus:
- Free and sustainable period products in all buildings.
- 16 Days of activism and staff training against SGBV.
- Over 10 activism fundraisers and workshops.
- Daily SU and UCL meetings to defend our rights and get rapid interventions.
- UCL Ambassador with UN Women UK to represent our community’s priorities.
I’m committed to ensure that EVERY WOMAN FEELS SAFE, RESPECTED AND VALUED on campus and outside.
A SAFE & INCLUSIVE CAMPUS
- Campus Lighting: press Camden Council to ensure secure journeys at night.
- SGBV* Healing spaces: safe counselling and self-expression platform.
CELEBRATING BEAUTY
- Body-Positive Art Festival: challenge conventional beauty standards & norms.
- Creative Expression Workshops: express ourselves through dance, poetry & art.
PROMOTING GENDER EQUALITY
- Period Products: double free menstrual products in gender-neutral locations.
- Workshops & Speaker series: amplify and celebrate marginalised voices.
*Sexual & Gender-Based Violence
We’re facing serious challenges on the path to Gender equality and representation of Women’s issues. To promote our causes and defend our priorities day-to-day requires clarity, diplomacy, and persistence. With your support, I will continue to be a strong advocate for our rights and work closely with UCL societies to create a more inclusive and safer UCL.
Together, let's strive for progress, equality, and empowerment!
