On Tuesday night the UQ Women’s Collective hosted a Diversity Week event called ‘Embracing Our Bodies‘, an information and discussion session about eating disorders and body image issues. Below are links to our amazing speakers’ organisations or blogs, along with some resources we made. You can find business cards and flyers from all the organisations featured at our seminar, along with Butterfly Foundation brochures, in the Wom*n’s Room on campus (Building 21A).
Speaking of the Butterfly Foundation…they shared our event on facebook!!

Suggestions on ways UQ could improve it’s support, representation and awareness of disordered eating and body image issues:
Next Semester the UQWC will be trying to get a few of these ideas kick-started – hopefully the university will take some of them on board, too!
Thanks once again to the Office of Undergrad Education for providing us with funding for our event. Happy Diversity Week!
