Safe spaces on campus
The Student Union provides several Womyn’s only and Queer only spaces on campus. These spaces exist for more than just eating lunch (although that’s ok too), by providing safe and relaxing areas for students to organise politically, talk over issues, hold meetings or simply make new friends.
