Almost all the European Student Associations (including UK) have been contacted as well and we have received positive and supportive responses from many of them to name a few: The Student Association of University of Luxembourg, The Student Union of Latvia, The Student Associations in Italy, International Student Offices throughout Scotland.

Some Universities in United States have also been contacted, through our personal network and Prof. Moalem from UC Berkeley, department of Gender and Women’s Studies took the lead in promoting this contest among her students… and same with some Universities in Australia.
