SpotlightNasty remarks shouted at you every day; sometimes even being chased and backed into a corner. Myrthe van der Houwen, a student of Psychology at the UT, was completely fed up with everything women had to deal with at the Noorderhagen in Enschede. In early June, she launched a petition against sexual harassment on the street. Seventeen thousand signatures and countless media appearances later, she looks back on the whole ordeal.
SpotlightElke keer die schunnige opmerkingen naar je hoofd; soms zelfs achtervolgd en klemgezet worden. UT-studente Psychologie Myrthe van der Houwen was he-le-maal klaar met wat vrouwen op de Noorderhagen te verduren kregen. Begin juni startte ze een petitie tegen seksuele intimidatie op straat. Zeventienduizend handtekeningen en talloze media-optredens later blikt ze terug.
With the magazine ROOTS we want to connect students and companies. We do this by bringing stories of starters on the labor market. They talk about living and working in the region. We also publish advertorials. In this way, companies come into the spotlight of students and students get an idea of the life that awaits them and what opportunities there are in the region.
