Background
Empowerment and representation of women and gender minorities within Cambridge University have been a subject of discussion with many students expressing a need for more visible role models, opportunities for personal development, and support networks. Despite efforts by various student groups, there is a significant gap in ensuring all women and gender minorities feel heard, represented, and empowered.
What have we done?
The new SU Women’s Officer is currently communicating with the SU Sports and Societies, College JCR and MCR Committee to gather content for Communications and Marketing, Leadership Events, Networking Opportunities as well as putting together Events and Activities Calendar with Seminars, Workshops, Self Defense and Empowerment Series in celebration of the International Women’s Day in March 2025. Additionally, efforts are underway to increase visibility, representation and awareness of the achievements of women across the University.
What do we want to achieve?
Highlight the positive achievements and success stories of Students and Alumni identifying as Women across the University of Cambridge through Communications, Marketing, Activities, Events and celebration of the International Women's Day. Our goal is to amplify the voices and achievements of students and alumni identifying as women throughout the University. By highlighting success stories through strategic communications and marketing efforts, we aim to foster a sense of belonging and empowerment for women across all disciplines and communities.
