About
Built by students who needed it to exist first.
LDF isn't a diversity initiative handed down from above. It started as a handful of people who couldn't find a room where they didn't have to explain themselves — and decided to build one.
How we got here
2019
Five students start meeting informally after a hostel incident goes unaddressed for weeks.
2021
Recognised as a student body. First joint session with the counselling service.
2023
Push for gender-neutral hostel transfer policy reaches the senate.
2026
Weekly circles run across four halls; the policy desk sits in on warden meetings.
What we hold ourselves to
Consent over comfort
We ask before we assume — about names, pronouns, and how much of your story you want in the room.
Confidentiality by default
What's said in circle stays in circle. No exceptions, no screenshots.
Advocacy, not just support
We show up to the meetings that set hostel and disciplinary policy, not only the ones that feel nice.
