I've been attending Women's Wrongs sessions after working up the courage through my first year, and the meetings are always so much fun. The community is so welcoming and has given me a space to be unapologetically myself, both in the meetings and in the issues themselves. Writing for the first issue this year was so rewarding and the launch party was an amazing opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and read my piece in front of everyone. The zine is such an amazing collaborative project that I feel really passionate about, and I would love to get even more involved and continue creating a space for creative expression where every voice matters. Women's Wrongs is not just a zine but a safe space, and I want to make it my responsibility to maintain this.
Hi everyone!!
My name is Anisha but everyone calls me Dina which is my middle name (I know, sorry if that’s confusing). I’m in my second year studying social sciences.
When I first came across women’s wrongs, I remember telling my friend this is… so cool… The creativity and community that came from the zine felt so inspiring, I knew I HAD to get involved. Every event I attended this year was so incredibly fun, and I always left feeling excited and enthusiastic!!! For the first issue this year, I wrote a piece about my identity being half Greek and half Indian. This was such an amazing opportunity and made me realise the importance of a zine like women’s wrongs in promoting an inclusive space, where everyone can express themselves creatively! My female friendships and bonds are so important to me and my life and I love how the zine celebrates this. I would love to be involved in continuing and celebrating this community. If I was co-editor, alongside creating the zine with everyone, I have ideas for activities such as movie nights, gallery visits and themed picnics/dinners with fun discussions!
The zine is a safe space combining all types of talent that members of the society are fascinated by- art and design, creative writing, journalism etc., across a range of genres, and as a media student and an aspiring writer, I feel most comfortable editing and nurturing this type of an art form. From attending the women's wrongs socials to having written for "You Can Sit With Us" and the new 2025 issue, my experience with the zine team has been nothing but encouraging and gracious, which meant a lot to me especially as a first year international student to whom a lot of other types of society participation seemed intimidating. So getting the opportunity to foster that kind of an environment for other newcomers or older loyalists would be the best way for me to give back to this small but powerful community.
Moreover, I feel like a space for discussions ranging from fashion and lifestyle to fascism and human rights, perfectly captures the essence of feminism and the exploration of all these themes together is greatly impactful to reflect on the interconnection between such concepts in our world, so as a strong believer of "all art is political", being able to support a platform that enriches this discourse would be my absolute delight and I am more than ready to not only oversee the flourishing of the zine, but also to get to learn from the fellow members, opinions and concepts I would probably not have come across otherwise.
I think since its foundation, personality has oozed from every aspect of Women's Wrongs—the name, the humor, the content itself—all of it! And that's something I hope to foster and elevate to a new level.
What I want to bring to the zine is a deeper sense of community! To me, the zine is a launching pad for all the unique voices and multifaceted personalities that are part of it. As zine editor, one of my biggest goals would be to remove any barriers preventing you from fulfilling your creative drive. Podcast? Website? Photography? Art? You name it—we should be able to make it happen with full support from the editorial team.
I've been an active member of WW since the first meeting of this academic year and have been outspoken in my suggestions. As editor, I believe these ideas could help foster an exciting new chapter for Women's Wrongs.
Not to brag, but I also have a few connections—so many fun things are in store if you vote for me as your next zine editor!
