As a Law student and aspiring barrister, I am particularly passionate about tackling rape culture and violence against women and girls. One of my biggest aspirations within my legal career is to contribute to meaningful change in these areas, challenging the attitudes, inequalities and systemic barriers that continue to affect women.
I take a keen interest in politics, current affairs and social justice, regularly researching developments and reading newspapers to stay informed. Alongside this, my experience with social media would allow me to bring a creative and accessible approach to campaigning. In an age where misinformation spreads so easily, I believe it is particularly important to promote media literacy and make political issues accessible to those who may not otherwise engage with them or have correct resources to do so.
If elected, my priority would be to ensure our campaigns reflect the passions and concerns of the society as a whole, rather than simply my own. I would love to create opportunities for members to suggest issues, discuss current affairs and collectively decide which movements we want to support.
I would also aim to align relevant campaigns with the work of organisations such as UN Women, raise awareness of important national and international movements, and organise opportunities for members to participate in marches, demonstrations and other forms of peaceful activism.

As the FemSoc's political and campaigning officer I would fight for positive change within the university and fight against the injustices that we face both on campus and in general life. My particular interest within the feminist movement is the creation and upholding of toxic beauty standards & expectations. I also have a passion for deconstructing gender roles within society.
