Feminists United provides students with an opportunity to be involved
with women's issues, both on campus and in the world at large. We have
several objectives:
- Working to bring
speakers to campus (including faculty and community members) to speak
on a variety of topics focusing on women’s issues in the United
States and around the world.
- Sponsoring group
discussions to improve awareness of feminist/women’s issues and
broaden our understanding through exposure to a variety of different
viewpoints.
- Working with Sisters
of Nefertiti, La Fuerza and the Student Diversity Board to create open
dialogue about issues of diversity/ethnicity and combating racism.
- Providing a link
between the Women’s Studies Program and the campus at large.
- Creating an awareness
of volunteer opportunities within the South Bend community, relating
specifically to women.
- Supporting the
creation and maintenance of smaller taskforces focusing on specific
women’s/feminist issues, such as body image, sexuality, and anti-racism.
