Candidate for the position of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Officer
Hi! I'm Dinara and I’m running for the SU’s LGBT officer.
I have always been actively interested in equal opportunities for all and would like to take LGBT officer role to assist and to help promote a general awareness of issues which can affect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual or (just curous?) fellow students.
Already at UWE, we have a strong, vibrant and diverse LGBT community and as LGBT officer, I want to maintain and make it a safe place and discrimination-free community where voices of students of all sexualities and genders, are listened to, whilst ensuring that every single LGBT student receives the support they need to have a truly wonderful university experience at UWE.
Mainly I would like to work to improve our university by increasing the social media presence of LGBT students, and representation of LGBT people on campus and continue to increase the size of the LGBT society. So people in the university can more easily hear about campaigns, issues and events we are highlighting.
I would like to finally continue to be an approachable, friendly and honest person, that will listen to all LGBT students and bring your concerns to the student council (if you wish).
As an International, mature and polyglot student from Muslim country i have more experience and better understanding for those who hasn't come out yet. I believe in welcoming and representing all LGBT students at UWE, and I hope I have your vote, as I genuinely would like to make UWE a better place for LGBT (or just curious?) students.
