The University of Stirling F.E.M. is a multi-award-winning society. We are widely recognised for providing a safe space for all like-minded individuals, regardless of their background, gender, size, race, ethnicity, or other differences. We are a collective group of students committed to dismantling the patriarchal system. 'F.E.M' stands for 'Feminists for Equity Movements', and it serves as a foundation for acknowledging individual circumstances and allocating resources and opportunities to achieve equality. We have initiated the movement for change at the University of Stirling; we have been recognised for our impact on students, as well as on our professors, tutors, and the wider community. 

Why should you join us? 

Society of the Year: 2024-2025

Event of the Year: 2024-2025

The Feminists for Equity Movements encourages a feminist lens throughout the student and broader community to provide representation which allows us to have the same voice as anyone and everyone. If you find yourself an ally, in any form, shape or way, you will find that you have a place with us. Even if you want to learn about the community and what we stand for, we welcome you with open arms because we strive for equity. Equality gives us the same space, but equity provides us with a voice. By having an active voice, we strive for a warm, welcoming environment that holds everyone to the same standard. 

Don't just take our word for it, the Right to Equality organisation summed up our fight at Stirling University in a nutshell:

"Feminism benefits everyone regardless of gender by creating equal opportunities for advancement across all areas of life; combating sexism, promoting equality between genders in terms of rights and responsibilities; and fostering respect between genders."

What you can look forward to: 

As a society, we host peer support groups for our students that include discussions, study sessions, masterclasses, workshops, and trips focusing on finances, sexual health, violence, and mental health, for both women and men. These groups are organised in collaboration with other campus societies, UOS staff, tutors, and the broader Stirling community. As a society with a diverse and constructively engaging committee, we are constantly growing and finding new creative ways to represent what feminism genuinely stands for.
