"It's rooted in racism. ... It's not really about the hijab, because hijab is fabric."

Project Forte helps survivors of trauma across Scotland. Here is a mention of the work done up in Moray by Elgin Fencing Club. Happy to hear of the success and future plans for 2023 ๐
Another interesting & inspiring visit for Scottish Women & Girls in Sport Week.

The right of women to decide what happens to our own bodies is a human right. And experience tells us that removing the legal right to abortion doesnโt stop abortions happening - it just makes them unsafe and puts the lives of women at much greater risk #RoeVWade
