Two unspeakers start a feminism club on campus | culture

According to the international women's development agency, the definition of feminism is that all genders have the right to equality.

Feminism is more than that of Sree Muthu, a newcomer to study, and Aubrey, a first -class English major for newbies. Feminism creates a society in which everyone can be the same and respected and has the same opportunities regardless of their gender.

In the high school, Muthu and Dieter visited a women's literature class in which they talked about feminism, women's history and pop culture. Until this moment they had believed that equality had been achieved among all sexes.

At that point, Muthu was the feeling that her passion for equality grew and she knew that she wanted to fight and sharpen feminism on consciousness.

“I want everyone to have the same ways, be treated equally and can simply be free to express themselves without being afraid of what people will think about them,” said Muthu.

When Muthu and Dieter came to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, they hoped to join a feminism club. After scrolling over 500 registered student organizations on Nvolveu and seeing that there was no club, they knew that they had to take it.

“In a high school environment, we didn't really get the opportunity to reach fundraisers or work with other organizations,” said Dieter. “This is a way for us to talk about feminism, something that we really have passionately passionate and ensure that it reaches a larger audience.”

Muthu and Dieter first researched how to start an RSO. In the first weeks of school, the girls hired an appointment with the office for school management, commitment and commitment of the community and were informed about what the next steps in it insisted to found a feminism club.

“I think this is a very important topic that has to be talked about. I wanted to make changes, even if it is a small change on campus,” said Muthu.

After meeting Slice, Muthu and Dieter turned to other students who could lead the club with them. They even examined possible sponsorship and asked how different things worked.

Everyone on campus must have a constitution that determines the way the students run their club. After working on the constitution for a month, it was finally approved last month.

The biggest thing that Muthu wants for the Feminism Club is to build a community in which everyone feels safe and respected.

“I want you to have the feeling of finding your people here and that there is no judgment because we all believe in similar things,” said Muthu.

For your first meeting on March 4, the club will take part in Vision Boards, while openly discussing what members of the club want.

For future meetings you just want to dance, karaoke, a workshop for self -defense, guest speaker, donations for women's hygiene products and a DIY Red Lipstift workshop.

In the 1900s, women wore red lipstick to resist oppression with which they were confronted. Muthu said she hopes to accept the workshop in honor of women who stood for their rights in the past and to spread awareness of current topics now.

“There is a lot of inequality in the world,” said Muthu. “I want to help close this gap and I want the other students feel like making a difference.”

Your club meetings will be held two weekly in the union on Tuesdays, and more information about meetings can be found on your Instagram.
