Our job as student leaders is to fight for those in our society who need us most, leading a student culture which celebrates diversity and standing up for each other when we need it most. That’s why we are proud to mark LGBT+ History Month, both as a celebration of our LGBT+ Jewish community, and as a focus on how much further we can go to expel homophobia, transphobia and biphobia from our Jewish student society and beyond.

This year’s LGBT+ History Month aims to educate-out prejudice and make LGBT+ people visible in all
their rich diversity. For current students and recent graduates, one way of highlighting this is through
diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

UJS is excited to announce that the Government have committed to fund our educational programme combatting campus antisemitism, in partnership with the Holocaust Educational Trust.

Do you identify as LGBT+, Woman, Disabled, Person of Colour, Working class? Or are you an ally?
