15 SUMMER 2015 Tackling Inequalities THIS AYRSHIRE GIRL CAN THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION LAUNCHED THE ‘THIS AYRSHIRE GIRL CAN’ CAMPAIGN ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY. The hope is to empower and encourage women to enter careers or learning programmes where women’s participation is traditionally low. Students took to Twitter using #ThisAyrshireGirlCan to upload their own photos. The students aimed to encourage women to pursue traditionally male-dominated subjects by explaining why they decided to follow their career paths.
