Candidate for the position of Women's Officer (PT)

Alicia Khuttan

About me:

  • 2nd Year Psychology Undergrad
  • Events and Socials Officer for HeaducateUEA
    • Ran a wellbeing panel for open discussion on mental health
  • HR and Welcome Desk Team Leader - working at the SU I have developed better understanding of student concerns within different divisions; from societies, clubs to democracy and representation. 

Goals:

All women, regardless of background, have the opportunity to voice their concerns, their needs, and what they want to see change. I will:

  •  Create safe spaces and organising workshops:
    • To build community
    • Run workshops that are intersectional and focused on creating opportunities for learning and personal development 
  • ?To Advocate for Intersectional Feminism:
    • Work towards an open space of intersectional inclusive feminism
    • Allow all voices to be heard
    • To speak freely about concerns we have and share with other women
  •  Normalising Conversations:
    • Talk about the issues we face to constructively build towards solutions
    • Hear, understand, and change
    • Relate to one another, but understand our differences
  • For women across campus to claim more roles in power, put their voices forward and be the change they want to see.

Why vote me?

I’d like to take an intersectional approach to dealing with the issues we face as women daily. My aim is to speak alongside women not on behalf of women, so that every voice is heard. It is important to me to see and feel the change we can make without the fear of being shut down.
