UCC launches Proud Ally Student Network
![](/en/media/aboutucc/presidentx27soffice2024/news/ProudAllyNetwork18.10.23.webp)
University College Cork has become the first higher education institution in Ireland to launch a Proud Ally Student Network. Launched on 18 October, the network aims to educate and empower everyone to become effective and proud allies to the LGBTQ+ community.
Led by UCC’s Graduate Attributes Programme, the Proud Ally Student Network aims to support LGBTQ+ allies who actively support the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer community and work to end discrimination and promote equality through acting as advocates for LGBTQ+ individuals. The network will host events and training opportunities, in addition to producing online resources which explore key information on becoming a Proud Ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and integrity. As socially responsible global citizens, it is our responsibility to recognise and challenge inequality. To be a Proud Ally we need to educate ourselves on the challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face, and reflect on who we are, what matters to us, and how we respond to different situations in our lives. We need to understand, acknowledge, and challenge our own prejudices. Through this network, we aim to help make our campus an even more inclusive, warm, and welcoming place.
