For Women Scotland is a nationwide group founded in June 2018 to safeguard and strengthen the rights of women and girls. Our campaign focuses on proposed changes by the Scottish Government to devolved legislation: we aim to ensure that women will be consulted throughout this process.

Important and far-reaching legislative changes are affecting women and girls in many countries across the world. We are delighted Meghan Murphy and Bec Wonders have accepted our invitation to speak in Glasgow about their experiences in Canada, and consider similarities to the proposed changes in Scotland.

Argh! May is becoming the best month ever for gender critical feminism in the UK! Long may it continue!

Is there a way to support Meghan's trip financially? I imagine this must be quite pricey for her!

I wonder if it will be held at a Glasgow Life venue?

That would be fun.

Maybe everyone could bring swimming trunks and pop over for a gym session after the talk?

Glasgow Life also run all the city libraries and many cultural venues too, which are available for hire to groups. I wonder........

I'm going after work so hope I will make it in time. Glasgow can be a nightmare to negotiate although having a satnav has made things easier. In the days when I just had a map I spent a lot of time lost in side streets
