Anti-Apartheid Week




What is Anti-Apartheid Week?

Welcome to the first ever QMSU Anti-Apartheid Week campaign. This campaign is being led by some of your elected student reps and came from a motion passed in the second Annual Members Meeting in 2024. Running from the 10-17th of April, Anti-Apartheid Week is set to bring talks by Zaki Sarraf (International Centre of Justice for Palestinians Legal Officer) and Dr Azzam Tamimi, bake sales and awareness raising and thought-provoking content shared via our website and social media. We encourage you to interact with the campaign and learn more about this important topic.
