Vote for this year's priority women's campaign!

NUS Women’s Campaign is asking you to vote on what you want to see them campaign on this year. The three campaigns are, Ending Violence Against Women Students, Fighting Cuts and Improving Women’s Representation. I believe that it's important to vote fighting cuts because in doing so we can can also tackle issues the other campaigns.  

                                                                                                

Fighting Cuts

The vast swath of public sector cuts are having an adverse effect on women.

From the courses women study being slashed to regressive measures forcing women back into the home, the loss of vital services putting their lives at risk.

Across HE and FE women are barring the bunt of the government’s dangerous economic agenda

We’ll lead the fight back by:

• fight against cuts and privatisation alongside our trade union colleagues;
• carry out a ground-breaking piece of research on women and the informal economy and discovering the real impact cuts are having on women students;
• ensure NUS’ priority campaign recognises the disproportionate impact of the government’s education policy on women;
• create an online campaign hub with resources for activists including campaign toolkits and briefings on the gendered impact of cuts;
• empower local women’s groups to take action and link them with other local groups – supporting them in their work not dictating what they campaign on.

Please note that this ballot is open to self-defining women students only.
