March is Women's History Month – an annual month long observance which celebrates the visibility, lives, experiences and achievements of women throughout history./p>
"This year’s theme is Medicine: Under the Scope, which explores the history of healthcare individuals in the LGBTQ+ community and the advancements in healthcare technology that has helped reproductive healthcare, and care of diseases like HIV and AIDs. "BCUSU is continuing to advocate for LGBTQ+ students by working closely with the LGBTQ+ Society, to work on some of their campaigns, fighting for trans rights, educating students, and participating in Birmingham Pride. "This year, BCUSU is happy to host our second LGBTQ+ Fair (on Tuesday 13th February), where we will invite organisations to speak about their work in for the LGBTQ+ community, from across Birmingham and the West Midlands. You’ll also have the chance to speak with BCU services to find out what is support available for you at uni."
