We campaign on issues that affect the studies, lives and wellbeing of graduate and undergraduate women, and seek to provoke thought and discussion through events, information and resources. We exist for the women of Cambridge: all students who self-define as women are members, giving the Women's Campaign a diverse membership, which necessitates diversity in our actions. We are the main representative for women in the University, as well as an autonomous campaigning body which provides a wide variety of services, resources and events for women in Cambridge.
