Some of the attendees at the relaunch of the Women's Network

Sunday 7 January saw the relaunch of the UJS Women’s Network.

Attendees heard from Luciana Berger MP and Louise Jacobs, the first woman Chair of UJIA. They spoke about the unique challenges and opportunities they have faced as Jewish women working within the Jewish community and wider society, and encouraged the students gathered to make change within in their communities.

Casting a ballot. Unionising. Having representation to all levels of government. These basic rights are enjoyed in their entirety by under a third of the world’s population. In the UK and Ireland, we are privileged enough to have this right, to be able to vote freely - without restriction or prejudice. And now the time has once again come for you to use this right, and have your say, to decide who will next lead your national union.
