74Women’s CampaignsHi! I’m Susy. I’m the CUSU’s Women’s Officer. I get theincredible opportunity to head the Women’s Campaign.Every woman in Cambridge University is automatically amember of the Women’s Campaign and together we pushfor change in how this university runs and in universityculture affecting women students’ day to day college lives.It is vitally important to us to recognize that although weare all women, the experience of being a woman is differentfor each of us. As a result of this, the Women’s Campaign workshard to supports and represents all women students in the university.Our Women’s Campaign is inclusive; we are made up of women that belong to all ethnic,religious and class backgrounds, women that define as trans*, queer, bisexual and lesbian andwomen who are student parents.What do we do?We have so many campaigns that are ongoing that it would be impossible to list them all here.But just to give you an idea, here are three that are ongoing:SusyZero Tolerance to Sexual ViolenceWe are trying to get every college to commit to having a zero tolerance to sexualviolence policy. Only half of the colleges currently have policy on what they haveto do if a student reports sexual violence and we are leaning on the othercolleges to update their policy and provide adequate support for students whoexperience sexual violence. Last year, as part of this campaign, we won asizeable victory with the council permitting us to install lampposts in some ofthe darker parts of town which are scary to walk down at night! Better lightingnotably reduces the risk of sexual assault so this is a big win!
75Campaign for Body PositivityThe Women’s Campaign believes that negative body image and unhealthy body habits anddisorders are major problems for women throughout their lives- from a shockingly early ageto older age. These problems are often perpetuated by things that many of us never considerto be unhealthy: a constant barrage of adverts featuring models who are not representativeof average, healthy women, ubiquitous marketing of products which are meant to addressinvented “shortcomings” and “imperfections”, a society which disparages diversity in shape/size/looks and is disproportionately focused on appearance. We run campaigns and events toencourage women to have healthier relationships with their bodies.Consent CampaignConsent means enthusiastic participation in sexual activity. Consent cannot be assumed -whether you’re in a relationship, if you’ve been kissing and regardless of who has paid for thedate. Checking for consent needs to be an ongoing process, and is the responsibility of bothpartners. An absence of a “no” doesn’t mean “yes”. If you’re not sure, it’s always best to ask. TheWomen’s Campaign works to raise awareness about consent through posters, the websitewww.cambridgespeaksout.org.uk/ and speaker events.How to contact us?I am the elected officer this year and you should feel free to get in contact with me assoon as you arrive with any questions you might have about how the Women’s Campaignworks or with any ideas for events or campaigns we should be doing. My email address iswomens@cusu.cam.ac.uk. However, I am not the only point of contact. Each college shouldbe represented by a college Women’s Officer or a Female Welfare Officer who serves as thelink between the college and the Womens’ Campaign. You can go to her if you have anyquestions!We really (REALLY!) want you to get in contact with us because we need your new ideas andquestions to keep us relevant and dynamic.
