UKC Women's Campaign

The Women's Campaign is headed by Women's Officer Lily Dedman and we aim to empower women on and off campus! 'Empowered women, empower women'

Wow! #Keynestock2019 is really top quality this year! Can't wait to hear the rest of their acts! @Kent_TV

Absolutely needed! ✨

Women in violent relationships are not weak.

Women in violent relationships are not stupid.

Women in violent relationships are not crazy.

Women in violent relationships are terrified.

For these women the most dangerous place on earth is their own homes.

This is what we're fighting against - @KentUnion @UniKent @UniKentSSW we know the medical centre has done similar things to students, what's being done about it?

In Canterbury East Kent Rape Crisis Centre is fantastic (01227 451753) and in Medway Beech House has a wealth of resources (01622 726461).

At the university we have Becky Wyatt - the sexual assault advisor [email protected] ✨

And as always, you have us 🥰

At @studentpride watching Ian McKellen! Was really good until he suggested that people in the closet were forced to abuse people and he joked he was waiting for his turn to be accused of something he's forgotten...

We're at the #WelcomeBack fair in Eliot Hall. Come say hi!

Top tip #4:

If someone is harassing you in the club, pretend you know the nearest group of people and tell someone. They will usually help you out and let you dance with them!

Or speak to a member of staff, especially if they have the Zero Tolerance accreditation!

Top tip #3:

If anything happens to you, it's not your fault! Go to campus security ASAP and download the SafeZone app.

It's also okay to not do anything, but make sure that you're okay by utilising the wellbeing service or EKRCC.

Top tip #2:

Try and go out in big groups of people, if you can't, either get public transport or a taxi, or walk on well lit paths with a fully charged up phone while letting people know where you are. Don't take unnecessary risks.

Top tip #1:

Download the local taxi app on your phone. You never know when you need it. For Canterbury campus this is Longleys and for Medway this is Express Cabs Kent.

This is important.

What not to say to survivors: a thread.

1) "what were you wearing? I'm not saying you were asking for it, but you have to know that it impacts how people look at you"

This is a niceTM way of saying - it was your fault! You know better!

[Respect the NO @RespectTheNO]

Too true. We need to be better and do better.
