Sanmeet Kaur (she/her)
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

Hello, my name is Sanmeet and I am currently studying a part-time History MA and have worked in the women's rights sector since 2018.

Outside of studying, I am also a union rep at work and have extensive experience advocating for others to secure better workplace rights. If I was elected, I would bring my years of campaigning to this role to ensure women of colour's issues on campus are taken seriously and addressed. I would create a safe and open space for women of colour, where we could exchange ideas and advocate for an intersectional approach to UCL's diversity and inclusion efforts.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I hope to secure your vote because the beautiful and unique experience is something I genuinely valve and cherish, and to be able to embody your thoughts and feelings will elevate me in such a special way, allowing me to then elevate you. Being involved with creating a safe space for women in a society where we are so often robbed of such would allow me to channel my personal

affection and warmth for women into institutional progression. I truly hope to become someone you can call a friend, knowing that I'll do what's in my power to empower you.
