March is Women's History Month – an annual month long observance which celebrates the visibility, lives, experiences and achievements of women throughout history.

BCUSU is proud  to support students from underrepresented groups. Use this page to find out how to get involved with Women's History Month at BCU and in Birmingham!

"Happy Women's History Month!

At BCUSU, we proudly celebrate Women's History Month and this year's theme: 'Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future', allows us to recognise the diverse contributions of women leading sustainability efforts historically and today.

As your VP Welfare, I also encourage you to join a student community at BCU. We have many women-led societies you can join such as Her Space, Women in STEM, and Women’s Society; each group will have socials and events throughout the year. You can even consider setting up a group of your own – just let us know!

To celebrate the month, check our events spotlighting and supporting women in our community on this page. Let’s lead change together!”
