RUSU has four Liberation Groups which represent these different sections:
Black Asian and Minority Ethinic (BAME) Liberation Group
BAME is a new Liberation group at RUSU with the aim of celebrating diversity as well as
campaigning for the needs of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students at the University of
Reading, and working with the NUS Black Students Campaign.
It is about celebrating diversity with people from other cultures and reducing ignorances
through changing perceptions of ethnic minorities. It's not an exclusive group and is open
for everyone to take part in and contribute regards of colour or creed. BAME aims to bring
people together as well as make people aware of the diverse population of Reading.
If you want to know more about this group and their activities, visit the BAME website
where you can see what they've been up to and have planned for the future.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) Liberation Group
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans group at Reading University is open to anyone who
identifies as LGBT or are undecided / questioning their sexuality. We are active participants
in the NUS LGBT Liberation Campaign and get involved on a national level as well as running
campaigns locally on a variety of issues affecting LGBT students.
We are also here to support LGBT students at Reading and provide a chance to meet and
socialise with one another in a safe and friendly environment.
Visit the Reading LGBT website and join the mailing list to keep up to date with all that we're doing.
Students with Disabilities (SWD)
Students With Disabilites (SWD), as the name implies is a support group open to all
students with a whide and varying range of disability.
We are a society for students to socialise, gain support and campaign on the issues
that affect them while residing at Reading University. We are involved in lobbying
locally and on a national level in conjuction with the National Union of Students (NUS).
Women's Campaign Group
With over 50% of the population being women, there is a definite need for this group. They
are here to help represent and campaign on issues affecting females. So why not join them
in helping support women both nationally and internationally.
Visit the Women's Campaign Facebook Group to find out what we're up to.
