It was a good turnout despite the shite weather. I loved all the banging on pots and pans, blowing whistles.... We made some proper noise, especially at the end when we chanted "Women matter. Women at Cornton Vale matter."
I hope the women heard us and our message and know that we will do our best to hold the government and gender lobbyists to account.
Quite a number of cars driving by tooting their horns in agreement, including cars leaving the prison. (Visitors and family members maybe?)
