Founded in 2014, HFEM is the first-ever, official Habib University student society. Following Habib University’s vision to make our campus a safe space that is tolerant and accepting of diversity, both in identity and dialogue, we have been working to make feminism a fundamental Habib value. Our intent is to bridge the gap created by patriarchal institutions, within the Habib community and outside of it through advocacy and awareness. HFEM engages these issues by starting channels of conversation and engaging in varied forms of activism. Feminism is often seen as a “modern,” Western ideology that is exclusionary. We seek to dispel such misconceptions and introduce postcolonial, intersectional feminist thought in the hope that members of the community not only become aware of the discrimination they may have faced but also the various privileges they hold over others – all this in order to smash the patriarchy, of course! We are co-creating a culture of not just tolerance and acceptance of diversity, but pluralism where a student body of diverse gender identities, sexes, sexualities, and sexual orientations, racial, religious and ethnic groups engage with one another in a healthy fashion that fosters love, consciousness, empathy and thoughtful self-cultivation.

This organization will give women at Habib University the opportunity to manage events on a large scale to promote awareness of STEM fields, primarily at a secondary level where students have yet to choose their fields and specifically in public schools where there is not as much exposure. By viewing empowering movies, participating in events, conducting workshops, meeting women who have done well in STEM fields and just providing a support to those girls studying science subjects, whether as a major or minor or even otherwise, members of WiSE will have the skills to make a difference when they go out in the real world too.
