We asked women... What do they wish for other women?
See what different women from our University answered this question.
Menstrual articles collection
From 8 March we are collecting menstrual articles - sanitary pads, tampons and pads. You will find cartons in each department where you can donate articles. All items collected will go into the pink boxes at our University. You can find a complete list of where to find the pink boxes at the link.
Field game
Throughout the campus, images with a brief description of former vice-chancellors, the first female rector candidate and women who have received an honorary doctorate and have been associated with the University of Gdansk will appear in each department. Attractive prizes can be won for taking a suitable selfie with the images. Detailed rules and information are available at the link.
Self-defence classes
On March 7, March 21, and April 4, there will be an opportunity to take part in self-defence workshops. They will be conducted by Bożena Hinca, a trainer from the Centre for Physical Education and Sport, a multiple medallist at the Polish Judo Championships. The workshop programme includes:

‘Women of Science’
This element of the programme consists of the preparation of a poster (1080x1080 px photo + note) presenting subjectively important female figures in science, whose achievements and scientific output, in the opinion of the participant, are not sufficiently recognised/mentioned. Submissions can be sent to casid@ug.edu.pl - they will be presented at the end of the campaign on the Facebook page of the Centre for Student and Doctoral Activities. Entries can be signed.
'Menstrual Exclusion' brochure
The ‘Menstrual Exclusion’ brochure aims to provide an overview of the socio-economic problem of menstrual poverty, the educational exclusion experienced by menstruating people, and the reforms and aid programmes gradually being introduced around menstruation worldwide.
