REGULAR EVENTS
Thursdays in Black
Wear black to show you’re against violence against women.

GirlZone
For all women, a discussion about queer women and a celebration of our right to be whoever we are. Details will be in the eBulletin!
Women’s Reading Group
A fun discussion on women-related texts! In the Women’s Room every ‘odd’ week of semester, Tuesday 12:30pm.
Alternatives
A weekly discussion group about alternatives to pads and tampons - make your own rad pad, find out about menstrual cups (and how bouncy they are when thrown!), sea sponges and other methods that won't cost the earth - either way you look at it.
Initially in the Women’s Room, hopefully this event will be moved to the Conference Room in order to be more trans+intersex inclusive.
Every Thursday 1-2pm.
