Women's Officer Report: Reclaim the Night North

Report:
All week I've been massively busy with Reclaim the Night organisation which has taken up pretty much all my time. This has included; postering, flyering, lecture shouts, door knocking, chatting to students, finalising speakers, coaches, police liasion, banner making, tshirt making, placard making, setting up rooms, steward training, press releases and speaking to the press. My report below doesn't repeat all this but just lists the other things I've been up to besides all this!

Monday 16
- Door knocking and flyer making/flyering for the General Meeting on Wednesday

Tuesday 17
- Attended 'Environmental Direct Action a History' talk.

Wednesday 18
- General meeting promotion and attendance
- Talk at Coventry University on Cross Liberation - how the LGBT and women's movement can work together.

Thursday 19
- Riveters meeting
- Impromtu exec meeting about 'Gaza Crisis' presentation at president's meeting

Friday 20
- Pre-meeting and meeting with Alan Gilbert about a number of issues. Got confirmation that nurseries would not be cut and students' children would be covered by child protection policy.

Saturday 21
- Reclaim the Night (which, by the way, was fantastic! Over 250 feminists and women took to the streets to reclaim our spaces from gender-based violence. With inspirational speakers, performers, fair trade tea and those who believe violence is wrong we took back our spaces!)

Sunday 22
- NUS Women's Campaign Conference compositing in London.
