Today I spoke @ScotParl's debate on International Women's Day #IWD2023.

Everyone should be paying attention to the issue of gender equality, including men.

We must all be present to listen to the experiences of women & girls & to join in the conversation.

My constituent Lydia Reid has been fighting for justice for her son, Gary Paton, since he sadly died in 1975.

I'm glad that Lydia can finally lay Gary to rest. I'll keep pursuing this issue for Lydia & other families affected.
