Why should you get involved?
The Women’s Campaign would not be able to exist and gender inequality in education and wider society would continue without the engagement of those who self define within this liberation group. It is important that as many women as possible get actively involved in the Women’s Campaign to ensure that what the membership needs can be provided.
As well as this engaging with your union and the Women’s Campaign is a great extra for your C.V. Plus it’s a great opportunity to meet new people!
Also try to remember you don’t have to be a feminist to get involved and help to run thought provoking and effective campaigns.
Some Campaign Ideas:
- White Ribbon Day
- International Women’s Day
- Pro-Choice
- Parent Students
- NO SWEAT
Got an idea for a Women’s Campaign? Leave a comment below and let me know:
Its appalling that even in this day and age and after all these years, that women in work are NOT treated equally. Many times women are asked to perform duties on an equal footing with men and probably have far more to lose. Most women these days have children, a home to look after and hold down a job. Why then are men paid far more for doing far less? Children in High Schools are encouraged to participate in activities once thought of as gender related; Im cetain that those same expectations of equality will follow once they are at work. What a shame that the girls will be sorely dissapointed and find that given opportunities to work in a mans world, they will not recieve the same recogntion and pay as men.
Hi – hope you had a good debate. How did it go and what was the result?
