My name is Yumna. I am from Pakistan and I am running for the position of women’s officer. I am doing master’s in public policy and governance, from Crawford School. Before starting my studies in ANU, I worked in the development sector for 6 years, working with local NGOs on gender rights, early child marriage, women’s education, health and leadership. This interest has motivated me to run for the women’s officer position. I want a safer campus for all the students, especially female students. I want our students to be more well informed on issues of sexual abuse, gender violence. I am also advocating for easier and affordable access to counselling and medical services for female students living on and off campus.
I also want to involve those students who are mother and feel left out of university life, due to lack of affordable child care or lack of infrastructure or services. There should be more and accessible parent rooms, where mothers can take care of their children.
ANU is a home, far away from home, lets cherish our campus and university, and make it a better place for current and future students.
