Oxford Women in Politics was founded in Hilary 2004 with the aim of tackling the gender disparity evident in political organisations within and outside Oxford We do this through organising and promoting exciting events with prominent female leaders and potential employers, by hosting social events to help our members build up a healthy network and by arranging workshops to develop the skills and talents necessary for success Our mentorship schemes and networking programmes allow students to build connections within the fields of their choice, offering advice, encouragement, and contacts for the future
