My Story

UNMC Feminist Society is a special-interest society established in the year 2015, at The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC) that organizes educational talks, critical awareness campaigns on issues pertaining to women’s rights, women’s empowerment, and equality of the sexes on a university level including staff and students. Based in Semenyih, UNMC Feminist Society endeavours to create safe spaces to discuss about the critical issues facing Malaysia relating to gender equality, in terms of harmful stereotypes and problems such as domestic violence, consent and sexual harassment. Our society has previously worked with Women’s Aid Organization (WAO), inviting speakers to talk about domestic violence; Projek Dialog, inviting speakers to discuss about the current status of gender equality as well as the progress made in Malaysia. We work hard to ensure our fellow students and staff have the opportunity to listen and actively participate in critical discussions as we believe that everyone is an agent of change. Our motto that we believe in is a simple equality: Awareness + Action = Social Change.
