Donella Torcassi
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
My name is Donella, and I would love to be your WO next year! If elected, I vow to do my very best to represent you and enhance your experiences at UCL. I have three main areas of focus:
Sexual assault (SA) prevention:
-Holistic study into sexism at UCL
-Consent training for all
-SA victim counselling
-Training from Rape Crisis and The Goodlad Workshop
-Active bystander training
Women at UCL:
-Volunteer network of Women supporting Women
-More sports outreach for women
-Free period products at UCL
Women outside UCL:
-Eating disorder/body image support
-Contraceptive advice
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
I am currently at the first stage of the Steinem quote: “the truth will set you free, but first it will p*ss you off."
Within my studies, my historical focus is on 20th century women's issues. I am also extremely enthusiastic about feminist literature, ranging from the classics of de Beauvoir, Freidan, Steinem etc. to more modern texts, such as those by Evaristo and Ngozi Adichie.
I know that my passion for all things Women, along with previous leadership experience, will allow me to fully support all women at UCL, while making it a safer, more fulfilling, and more equal place to study.
Anything else?
I will also dedicate my time to listening to YOUR concerns and implementing the changes that YOU ask for. This includes extra support for women with disabilities, mental health concerns, body dysphoria or dysmorphia, anyone transitioning, or anyone else who needs their voices amplified!
