Student Societies

Newcastle Women for Women International Society has had an incredible year of fundraising from hosting their very own night of music with Sofar Sounds to celebrating International Women’s Day with a Pub Quiz. The society used their platform to raise the voices of women survivors of war by speaking on their university radio station and updating their blog with topical opinion pieces!

St Andrews Women for Women International Society sponsors several women through our year-long programme by raising funds through several fundraising activities. From art exhibitions to sports matches to activist demonstrations, they put on many events throughout the year.

The amazing society at Warwick hosted a #SheInspiresMe Conference, an event to celebrate inspiring female figures at Warwick University.

Edinburgh’s society has sponsored a woman through our year-long programme in Nigeria!
