Selwyn Alternative Prospectus

Selwyn FemSoc
“Despite only being launched in 2019,
Selwyn Femsoc has already become one of
the most active societies at Selwyn. From
hosting social events and curating
exhibitions to display the art work of female
and non-binary students, to providing free
period products in all public toilets in
college, we not only practice but promote
inclusive and intersectional feminism.
We often collaborate with the JCR to host
casual events such as movie and open-mic
nights, which help relax, engage and
empower students. As a political society,
discussion and debate is central to us and we
have arranged for some highly prestigious
speakers to give talks at Selwyn, ranging
from Dr Charlotte Proudman, the ‘Feminist
Barrister’, to Lily Madigan, Labour activist
and first trans woman to hold the title of
Labour Party Women’s Officer.
We also participate in university-wide
activism, most recently joining the
Cambridge Women’s Campaign to march
with hundreds of women and non-binary
people at the #ReclaimTheNight rally in a
stand against sexual violence. The majority of
our events are open to all genders, however,
some are exclusively for women and nonbinary
individuals only.

We would love for you to get involved by
following us on Instagram (@selwynfemsoc)
and Facebook (Selwyn Femsoc) as many of
our campaigns are online!”
