On Thursday 31 January, For Women Scotland are holding their first public meeting in Edinburgh.

There'll be information on and discussion of the current situation in Scottish schools, councils, hospitals, prisons and any other areas affected by the ongoing erosion of women's rights and the undermining of safeguarding.

There's been a lot of interest and quite a few of the tickets are gone already, in just 24 hours. If any of you wish to go, you can book your ticket here. (The price covers the costs of the group as no-one funds us but us.)

As always, the venue will be announced on the day.

When I went to my first women's rights meeting (WPUK) on Valentine's Day last year, I was a little unsure and worried about going. Some wonderful women reached out to me here on Mumsnet and helped me feel welcome and reassured, so now it's my turn:

Feel free to DM me if you are worried about going on your own, I'm happy to chat any time and also willing to meet you beforehand.

Hope to see you there!

Be careful. I don’t believe the SNP will tolerate this. At the very least expect to be labelled fascist, every ic and ism under the sun, and probably you will be accused of being “literally Hitler” and too.

🤔

I think we're fine, thanks.

Do you have any idea of what time it might end?

My ticket's booked - really looking forward to it. I'm so pleased this is happening, big thanks to the organisers.

I have bought a ticket. I'll need to check logistics / childcare etc. I'll also pm you, OP, if that's ok?
