ABOUT US
SMU Women’s Connection strives to bring like-minded, aspiring individuals together for networking and enriching social interactions, to positively impact the community and spread awareness regarding female empowerment.
SWC usually holds monthly gatherings and hosts multiple events each semester, with past events revolving around the themes of fighting sexual harassment, women in career and wellness. These events include networking sessions, talks, a street-play and dialogues centred around gender related issues and equality. Our upcoming event theme will be about deconstructing gender roles and celebrating progress in this area.
