dbo:abstract
  • UniQ o Universidad Queer es una organización de defensa de los derechos civiles y difusión de información que congrega a los estudiantes no heterosexuales de las universidades neocelandesas. El nombre UniQ es una contracción de universidad y queer (en inglés raro), el término utilizado en lengua inglesa para los individuos que se apartan de la norma heterosexual. Queer engloba a gays, lesbianas, bisexuales y transexuales (GLBT), y — específicamente en Nueva Zelanda— a fa'afafines y . La organización lucha por los derechos de los estudiantes GLBT a la información, inclusión y representación en actividades que implican a la comunidad estudiantil. Si bien Nueva Zelanda es una sociedad tolerante con la diversidad sexual, lo que hace a veces sorprendente la denominación de UniQ como una asociación de defensa de derechos, ocasionalmente ha sido necesario que se tomaran medidas activas de reclamo de trato igualitario, como en el caso del proyecto de uniones civiles. Las filiales de UniQ se reúnen anualmente en una universidad, rotando la ubicación de encuentro. Los pasados congresos han tenido lugar en: * 2001: Universidad Massey, Palmerston North * 2002: Universidad de Otago, Dunedin * 2003: Universidad de Auckland, Auckland * 2004: Universidad de Waikato, Hamilton * 2005: Universidad Victoria en Wellington, Wellington * 2006: Universidad Massey, Palmerston North * 2007: Universidad de Auckland y Universidad tecnológica de Auckland, Auckland * 2008: Universidad de Otago, Dunedin * 2009: Universidad Victoria en Wellington, Wellington * 2010: Universidad de Canterbury, Christchurch * 2011: Universidad de Waikato, Hamilton * Datos: Q5800784 (es)

It was considered to be collective term for non-heterosexual and non-cisgender identities; inclusive but not exclusive to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, takatāpui, intersex and asexual people. The name 'UniQ' comes from the name given to the work carried out by Matt Soeberg. Soeberg was employed as a Queer Project Worker by New Zealand Union of Students' Associations (NZUSA) to address the needs of queer students. The overall name given to the work was 'UNIQ - Creating Support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Students' which was eventually adopted by various student groups as their name. UniQ worked to promote education and understanding for and about queer students undertaking tertiary study and regular events held around New Zealand's tertiary institutions. This included Pride Week when local UniQs facilitate a week-long series of events usually culminating in a dance party. (en)
