The Annual SWC International Women’s Day celebrations, held in the Scottish Parliament, are always a highlight in our calendar. However, we’re doing things a little differently this time around…

This International Women’s Day we’re going digital. Whilst we can’t bring women together in our usual way, this gives us the opportunity to have more attendees than ever before!

This online interactive event will take place on International Women's Day, Monday 8th March 2021, from 6pm – 8pm and will be chaired by Linda Fabiani MSP, Deputy Presiding Officer.

Attendees will hear from a range of contributors and key speakers who will discuss their experiences over the past year and their hopes for what a post-COVID Scotland will look like for women. This will be followed by an interactive question and answer session.

Stay tuned for announcements in the coming weeks as to our extra special speakers!

To commemorate the tireless and heroic efforts of our key workers over the past months, our chosen theme is “Celebrating Women in Scotland”. We want to highlight the amazing work done by women in all walks of life during this pandemic.

If you would like to ask a question on the evening to one of our amazing woman then please send us your questions in advance to [email protected]

Given the rampant misogyny repeatedly on show by Scottish Gov I do wonder if actual women will be allowed to participate. Most will probably be too scared to speak least they fall foul of the proposed Hate Crime legislation...

ForWomenScot are battling on but their concerns fall on maliciously deaf ears it seems. This thread is absolutely shocking:

Yes I can imagine any questions or comments that do not fit the narrow list of approved opinions won't be allowed.

I suspect there will be some extra-extra special ones ItsAll.

I would try to attend but I suspect I'll be too busy banging my head against the nearest wall.
