<\/a><\/p>\nI am a senior status LLB student from Canada. I have always been a strong advocate for women\u2019s rights and try to incorporate feminist ideas into the way I live.\u00a0 My personal and legal role model is Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the former US Supreme Court Justice who was a champion of women\u2019s rights and many other marginalized groups.\u00a0 I strive to be one of the many who will carry the torch of her work and make my own contributions to creating gender equality, and that is what interested me in the role of an EDI representative.\u00a0 Ensuring equality is present throughout our education is essential to both our individual success, as well as making sure Kent\u2019s students embody those values in their work when they go out into the world.\u00a0 As your EDI representative, please feel free to reach out to me on any relevant issues \u2013 I am always open to having a conversation!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nI am currently a second year Law student. I have been interested in studying Law since I was a teenager as I have always hoped to make a difference in the area of human rights. I have been volunteering since I was a child and have had an active role participating in cultural events within my community. I am passionate about human rights as well as a number of other issues, particularly racial and gender equality as it resonates with my own personal experiences in the past. I was interested in this role as I would like to work towards improving diversity and inclusivity at the university. I also hope to create a safe and comfortable environment for those who are struggling and to provide support for those who need it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nI am a first year law student and a passionate advocate for disabled voices and issues. I\u2019m disabled myself and grew up around disability and chronic illness, which strengthened my dedication towards disability rights, education, and empowerment. My passions also include gender equality, body positivity and fighting anti-semitism as I\u2019m very proud of my Jewish faith. However, as an EDI representative, I strive to raise and address problems facing disabled and chronically ill students, so I am always available and happy to discuss any issues that may arise \u2014 I look forward to getting to know people better!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Feriel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n I am a stage two Law student from France. Growing up, I have had the chance to meet people from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds which made very much aware of the barriers students from a low-income background can face. In my opinion, this goes beyond money issues\u2014those barriers include the lack of opportunities and the impact financial hardship can have on someone’s mental and physical health as well. As a student representative, I hope as such to not only offer support to the students that reach out to me, but work with the university too and provide each student with an equal chance to succeed in their academic journey.<\/p>\n
