What if our experiences in university shows us that women don’t belong in leadership? What if it shows us that yes, women can study, but they shouldn’t led a seminar? What if, as still in many places around the world, it tells us women don’t belong there at all? What if we’re given the message that sexual violence actually isn’t a form of violence? We must not see or experience double standards; we need to see equal respect, leadership, and pay. The university experience must tell women that their brain power is valued and not just that, but that they belong in the leadership of the university itself. And so importantly right now, the safety of women, minorities, and anyone who may be vulnerable is a right, not a privilege.
