At LSE, I’ve been involved in Hands Off as lead campaigner to increase sexual violence support, including lobbying for Consent Ed and an anti-harassment officer to support students. I was also previously the President of Women in Politics and a Consent Ed facilitator. By being Community and Welfare Officer, I can achieve wider impact and represent students’ interests!
