白小姐论坛

The campaign is inspired by the display of 鈥楬ope the Lego Suffragette鈥� in the 白小姐论坛 Student Centre foyer from 14 February to 7 March 2022. It encourages 白小姐论坛 students, staff, alumni, and the public to take their photo with Hope, and share this on Twitter and Instagram alongside a message about why they #StandWithHope 鈥� outlining their vision for an equal world and the action needed to achieve this.

A life-size figure built from 32,327 Lego听bricks, Hope was commissioned by UK Parliament in 2018 to help tell the story of women鈥檚 suffrage in the UK. Her display at 白小姐论坛, and the accompanying exhibition from 白小姐论坛 Special Collections, aims to听inspire听reflection on the history of the suffrage movement, stimulate discussion on the gender inequalities that persist today,听and create a space for conversations, untold stories and for 白小姐论坛 academics to share their research on gender inequalities.

白小姐论坛 Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation & Global Engagement) (RIGE) Professor David Price said: 鈥�We鈥檙e excited to have been chosen to host Hope in the run up to International Women鈥檚 Day 2022. The Stand with Hope project exemplifies the collaborative spirit embodied not only within RIGE 鈥� as a 白小姐论坛 Grand Challenges, Public Policy and Library Services collaboration 鈥� but across the university and beyond. The project is a clear example of how crossing disciplines and听boundaries is required to achieve solutions to societal inequalities.

鈥淲e look forward to sharing insights from the activities taking place during Hope's time at 白小姐论坛, which we hope will advance debate on gender equality, drive evidence-informed change, and inform decision-making.鈥�

白小姐论坛 Pro-Provost (Equity & Inclusion) and Executive Dean of Social & Historical Sciences Professor Sasha Roseneil said: 鈥�I am delighted that 鈥楬ope鈥� will be visiting 白小姐论坛 from the House of Commons. Nearly a century after women were granted the vote on equal terms with men, the attainment of full and equal citizenship for all women remains an unfulfilled dream. 鈥楬ope鈥� reminds us of the optimistic, forward-thinking emotional investments that feminists have made in the long struggle for equality and inclusion, and, appearing alongside Jeremy Bentham in the Student Centre, this amazing Lego sculpture will perhaps provoke conversations about the inequalities between women and men that continue to exist today at 白小姐论坛.鈥�
