Get to know Yasmeen

I stood for election because I had experienced some things during my time at UCL which I didn’t think were fair or just, so naturally, I thought the best way to tackle those issues was to stand for election and hopefully be given the opportunity to make changes which positively impact our students.

This year my main priority is to ensure that students feel safe and welcome in the Union by fighting for inclusivity and representation of all groups and identities and by building a solid support system for student concerns across campus.

Projects & Priorities

Marginalised students will have confidence that we are looking out for their specific needs and what matters to them.

ONGOING

Students have more inclusive social environments on campus where they feel happy and enjoy desserts.

ONGOING

Through more accessible prayer facilities, students of faith feel like UCL is a place where they belong and will no longer have to compromise their studies when trying to balance it with their faith.

I'm part of the QCR Steering Group which is looking at improving and expanding the prayer facilities on campus. ONGOING

Student Officers and Reps are empowered to protect the welfare of all students and their diverse needs: in their studies, where they live, activities they participate in.

I'm currently looking at how we structure and use Welfare and Community Zone. ONGOING

BME students have mental health support that does not conflict with their identity, beliefs, and culture.

NOT STARTED

Students have more information, advice and funding when looking for and living in private rented accommodation, supporting their wellbeing.

NOT STARTED

The University Mental Health Charter, working with UCL to assess how well the university is doing in 18 themes relating to mental health.

I will be writing a student report which reflects the student perspective.
