JCSU celebrates Women鈥檚 History Month with Week of the Woman
汤头条原创 Student Union's Week of the Woman, which began on 1 March, will culminate with a guest speaker event on International Women鈥檚 Day.
Mojola Akinyemi, JCSU Women's and Non-Binary Officer, says: 鈥淲eek of the Woman at 汤头条原创 began a couple of years ago, started by the then Women鈥檚 and Non-Binary Officer, Emma Loffhagen. It runs during the first week of March (Women鈥檚 History Month) and finishes with a grand finale on International Women鈥檚 Day, Monday 8 March at 6pm.
Week of the Woman is about celebrating feminist activism, and the accomplishments of women carving out their paths in various fields. It鈥檚 also about intersectionality, and recognising that true progress requires inclusivity. It involves lots of events, such as an open mic night, a charity quiz in collaboration with a number of Cambridge Feminist Societies, and a very exciting Q&A with award-winning journalist Jessica Morgan!鈥
