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.

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.
