Womens
The Women’s department provides representation for the concerns of female students both on and off campus. The department office, which doubles as a women’s common room, can be found next to CUPSA in the Guild Precinct.
The Women’s room is a safe space for female students to relax, plan activities, hold small meetings and get information on women’s issues. The Women’s department room is not only a safe space for women but also a safe space for women to study on campus with their children.
At the moment there is a computer available for use by parenting students as well as a nappy change table, some books and toys and TV facilities for use by mothers with children up to the age of 10 years.
The women’s department also organises female only social events for students as well as meeting once a month to discuss women’s issues. The Curtin Women’s department is affiliated with the National Union of Students and their Women’s Departments on both a state and national level. This gives us the opportunity to work with other women’s departments to develop cross-campus campaigns.
For more information on the Women’s Department or the Athena Collective pop into the department room or contact the Women’s Officer.
