We are supporting all students to have the best experience possible at LJMU, regardless of their gender. That’s why we’re the first UK university to provide free period products across campus, and we’ve set up Menopause Cafés for staff. We’re also championing gender equality in the wider community, reflected through our involvement in the This Girl Can campaign with Sport England.
We are committed to ensuring that nobody should suffer from the effects of poverty. That’s why we’re supporting our students with the cost-of-living crisis, offering safe and warm spaces on campus. This sentiment is built into our Access and Participation Plan which aims to improve equality of opportunity for underrepresented groups to access, succeed in and progress from higher education and avoid poverty.
We’re tackling hunger through a range of community initiatives spanning on and off-campus at LJMU. We’re driving high-tech and sustainable food production through our work with Farm Urban and giving back to the community through contributions to the Fans Supporting Foodbanks initiative. In Southeast Asia, we are working to develop nature-based solutions to promote food security hungry.
The purpose of the Diversity and Inclusion Champions is to support the University in driving forward the equality, diversity and inclusion agenda at Faculty and Professional Services level and ensure local issues inform the Diversity and Inclusion overall approach.
In 2022, Liverpool John Moores University renewed their Diversity Champions membership, to ensure the continuation of our LGBTQI+ staff feeling free to be themselves and to continue the work to increase the feeling of belongingness.

LJMU strives to enable equality for all people regardless of income, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity, religion. Our international and collaborative research aims to give a voice to minoritised and vulnerable communities and end poor treatment of human beings. Our research extends to improving the treatment of women in African prisons and identifying disaster victims through our Face Lab.
