Our KCLSU Networks are autonomous representative communities for students who KCLSU recognises, have been historically and continue to be marginalised within the student body and wider society in having their voices heard. KCLSU has 8 Networks at KCLSU for the following student communities: People of Colour, LGBT+, Disabled, and Women; International, First Generation, Mature and Family Network (Student Parents and Carers). Any student who self-defines as a member of these communities is considered a member of their respective Network.
Each Liberation Network is made up of:
Networks aim to combat oppression, discrimination and inequality faced by students on a local and national level through organising and collective campaigning and giving a space for students to connect with one another around issues that affect them. They also hold King’s and KCLSU to account and ensure sure we are acting with equality and inclusion in mind.
Our Networks are intersectional and this means they recognise the overlaps (or intersections) between different identities and the knock-on effects. It’s possible to self-define into one, some, or all of the Networks. As a result, Networks often work together to achieve the best results.
Networks also recognise and celebrate Liberation History Months throughout the year; these are Black History Month, Disabled History Month, Trans Awareness Week, Women’s History Month and LGBT+ History Month.
"I was excited to form my team after the 2017 autumn elections, work with KCL IT STOPS HERE, tackle mental health issues by raising awareness, and to work with other women focused society to gain more opportunities for women!"
