VOTE MATILDA FOR LGBTQ+ OFFICER<br />
I believe that a few changes could create a better environment for all<br />
LGBTQ+ people in Cardiff University.<br />
If elected, I’d advocate for queer people in all university policy<br />
decisions.<br />
The three main changes I’d like to bring about:<br />
EVENTS<br />
WELFARE<br />
1 - Create a queer club night at the Students Union.<br />
Although the Students Union is intended for all students, many<br />
LGBTQ+ students feel a lack of representation in SU nights out.<br />
I’d create a brand new club night, separate from Yolo and Juice,<br />
aimed at LGBTQ+ students.<br />
Hosted by queer performers or djs. It would take place a twice a<br />
semester.<br />
2 - Improved access to welfare services.<br />
Many LGBTQ+ students face challenges with their mental<br />
health and well-being.<br />
I’d improve access to counselling and drop in services for all<br />
students.<br />
I’d also run a series of well-being initiatives, such as craft<br />
afternoons and walks, including specific sessions for LGBTQ+<br />
students.<br />
EDUCATION<br />
3- Improve representation of LGBTQ+ issues and voices in the<br />
curriculum.<br />
Queer people face different challenges, and have different<br />
health outcomes to straight people. I’d push for more LGBTQ+<br />
education in healthcare courses to account for this.<br />
I’d also push for better representation of historical queer<br />
figures in humanities courses.<br />
Let’s push the gay agenda<br />
Any questions, I’d love to chat!<br />
