Election post
As a woman who has experienced firsthand the challenges that menstruation can cause—such as fatigue, pain, and difficulty focusing—I am passionate about advocating for more support for women at UCL. I’ve also heard similar struggles from many female peers. My friendly, empathetic nature allows me to connect with others, and I have strong organizational and communication skills, which will help me coordinate effective campaigns and events. I will ensure women’s needs are not only heard but acted upon.
If elected, I will advocate for policies that provide better academic and well-being support for women, especially during menstruation. This includes pushing for flexible deadlines or exam arrangements during difficult periods and improving access to menstrual products on campus. I also want to promote workshops and events that raise awareness about women’s health issues and create safe spaces for discussion. My goal is to ensure that UCL recognizes and accommodates the specific challenges women face.
Students should vote for me because I understand the real struggles women face, both academically and personally. My drive comes from my own experiences and the voices of fellow female students who feel unsupported during menstruation or other health-related challenges. I am committed to creating tangible change, from flexible study policies to improved campus facilities. With my strong communication skills, empathy, and determination, I will ensure that women’s needs are prioritized and addressed at UCL.
