Stand with Hope

From 14 February to 7 March 2022, the UCL Student Centre hosted the House of Commons’ ‘Hope the Lego Suffragette’, a life-size Lego figure built to help tell the story of inequalities and women’s suffrage.

The 5ft6 (1.7m) model is built from 32,327 lego bricks. Standing prominently in the UCL Student Centre Foyer, she is the inspiration behind UCL's 'Stand with Hope' campaign in the run up to International Women’s Day 2022.
 

Hope’s display at UCL aimed to inspire reflection on the history of the suffrage movement, as well as creating a space for challenging conversations, hearing untold stories, and for UCL academics to share their research on gender inequalities.

We encourage UCL’s communities to share their stories and views on suffrage, inequalities and what needs to change to create a truly equal society today.
