Feminist Society Mission Statement
Feminism advances the idea that all genders should enjoy equal status in society. It is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing and defending equal political, economic and social rights, as well as equal opportunities for all. Though it is an often misunderstood concept, the Feminist Society believes that feminism is more relevant than ever in contemporary Ireland.
Acknowledging and building on the longstanding history of feminist activism in University of Galway, which has been revived in recent years by dedicated students and staff, the Feminist Society aims to provide a forum for discussion on issues of equality and human rights. We are open to all students, staff, and alumni of any gender, and anyone interested in coming together with like-minded people or to learn more about what feminism represents.
The Society is anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, anti-ableist, and pro-choice.
