Liberation Networks

Liberation at GSU comes in many forms however the three core aims of this work are to create safe spaces, run campaigns, and educate the community in order to reduce oppression. 

GSU is committed to reducing the barriers faced by our members both inside and outside their university experience. Developing you to talk about systemic discrimination and oppression as well as recognise privilege and internal bias.

You can join any network you identify with and take part in their campaigns, meetings, and community for free.

Liberation Network Organisers

We currently have three Liberation Organisers. These are student staff members responsible for carrying out activities on behalf of the members of Liberation Networks, and you'll see them doing anything from organising events, to getting students involved with campaigns.

 

Shalmali

Hello, this is Shalmali Jadhav and I work as a Liberation Organizer at GSU. I believe in equal opportunities for everyone. Each and everyone person no matter where they come from or who they are must be presented with equal opportunities and I'll be using my voice for equal rights for everyone at the campus.

Becca

My name is Becca and I’m a second-year psychology student. Liberation is important to me as being a queer disabled woman I have experienced my fair share of discrimination and barriers. Liberation matter because I strongly believe that no one should be treated differently or denied access to opportunities just because they are different from the norm. 

Areeba

Hi, my name is Areeba and I’m studying Cyber Security in Computer Science. Liberation matters to me because it gives me a platform that I can use to listen and support student with any issues or problem they are facing. I would also like to use this platform to raise voice on topics such as, women not being treated equally as men.
