'Our society was rejected by Leicester Student's Union for the following reasons:

  • Too much crossover with other sport clubs
  • Sports on campus already have women participating

We're offering activities that no other sport club currently offers, we're creating a unique space for women, and clubs on campus have missed opportunities in competition this year due to lack of female participation.

If you think our society matters, please fill out this quick form! '

'Bringing women together to support our physical and mental wellbeing through sport.'

Link to X account above, which has a link to the form in bio. It is a google form, so just bear in mind there may be some privacy issues wrt that.

Please give these brave young women support.

'We’ll work on women’s health issues. That means: menstrual health and endometriosis cervical cancer and breast cancer exercise during pregnancy and motherhood And we’ll talk about them in terms of WOMEN, GIRLS, and MOTHERS.'

'We'll be asking the University's Danielle Brown Sports Centre and Roger Bettles Centre to add a Women's Hour to their schedules - especially since they're open to the public. Female students will be able to swim and work out in peace!'

I filled in the form, I hope they succeed, the reasons given for not allowing it were poor and pathetic. 💪

Shame on the people harassing them.

And a specific thank you to all who have supported them, btw. I'm sure that includes Mumsnetters.

Well done young women, there's hope for the future yet. 🥳💪✊
Maybe the trails and tribulations they have faced are character building as opposed to those aligned against them, which are character destroying, so I know who will do well in their lives. 😁

They have been given approval in principle!
