Presidents Message

FemSoc is one of the only political societies of LUMS, fighting against oppression within and outside of campus in all its horrid, dehumanizing forms. We believe in creating spaces, especially for gender and sexual minorities, to express and resist, find comfort and refuge, and nourish and use our rage and empathy in equal amounts. We will be there to learn and unlearn with you, to join your battle cries and protest inequalities within and outside our bubbles, as well as offer you a community to fall back on when the fight gets exhausting. Be it through informal internal discussions where we educate ourselves together; through safe spaces where Womxn, Men, and Non-binary folk alike find healing and catharsis; or larger circles where women - not just feminists - of LUMS come together in solidarity, FemSoc is going to listen to you, support you and work with you in our collective struggle towards a more inclusive world.
