The Women’s Campaign (WomCam) supports and represents all women, people who have 'woman' as part of their identity and others who may have experienced misogyny at any point, although our ultimate aim is to work towards equality of all genders. We bring together feminist collectives across the University and campaign for change at an institutional, social and cultural level. We are also a community of care and solidarity, providing a welcoming and celebratory environment for both undergraduates and postgrads.
Everyone who identifies with the campaign is welcome to attend our events and make use of WomCam's space throughout their time at Cambridge. Gender will never be questioned at our gatherings as we assume that if you are present, the space is meant for you!
