Shyneth Paton
Womyn's Officer
Juris Doctor
I believe that the path towards equality is by first knowing and
accepting that inequality is prevalent within our society. This
inequality towards women is then addressed by creating an integral
level of advocacy, support and campaign around issues that affects
women in education, workplaces, and the broader community. This is
the responsibility I place upon myself as your Student Union
Womyn's Representative.
