Women & Politics KCL

King’s College London Women & Politics Society - ran by students - we aim to promote and enhance women's influence and leadership in politics.

The KCL W&P Society was also very disappointed to see a speaker from @ObjectUK (undeniably transphobic) at this event. We promoted the CEASE Summit 2019 to enable students to learn more about sexual exploitation but that does not mean we share and agree with all speakers’ views.

Have a look at our future events 💫

Just finished @kclwomenpol’s 1st Feminist Reading Group session. Sapho & Serena chose our @millennjournal piece to discuss! @1GeorginaHolmes @KAMWright
Who knew there was so much out-of-class demand for a discussion on feminist approaches to security studies?!

I'm sure these are all brilliant speakers, but can we please avoid manels @KingsCollegeLon?
There must be *one* woman expert somewhere who can speak on #cybernetics.... And for that matter, a bit of ethnic diversity wouldn't hurt.

[UK Parliament @UKParliament]

100 years ago today a general election was held that represented a shift in British politics - women could be elected as MPs for the first time. It was also the first general election where some women and all men over 21 could vote. Equal voting rights wouldn't be won until 1928
