Sandra Bocharnikov is a third year at UVa who started the XX Standard, a campaign focused on women's advocacy. We caught up with her this week to hear more about the XX standard and how women can take charge of their individulaity and push against society's expectations.  

Name: Sandra Bocharnikov 

Hometown: Oakton VA

Major: Biochemistry

 

What is the XX Standard campaign and what's your involvement?

The XX Standard focuses to encourage women to live by the individual standard, which they set for themselves, instead of one set by society or their peers. The campaign also strives to foster discussion and acceptance about the different perceptions of femininity and raise awareness about challenges due to gender that women face around the world. I am the founder and current co-director for the campaign, working with an executive board of ten members.
