Our #LWDScotland stall at #ScotLab24 last month was equally busy. Delegates & visitors said how glad they were to be able to engage in conversations & to discuss how @ScottishLabour can develop & clarify its policy positions on #WomensSexBasedRights & #LesbianRights

"The comrades may have won a battle, but they will not win the war against women, no matter how dirty they fight".

The chilling sight of Scotland’s big 3 trade unions using their muscle to vote against women’s rights. They may have won a battle but they won’t win the war against women - no matter how dirty they fight. My @thescotsman column

Today @ScottishLabour Women's Conference delegates voted that:
"When Holyrood & its committees discuss regulation & legislation that impacts on women, women’s voices as a sex class must be heard openly, with respect
& without intimidation"
Congrats to #LWDScotland sisters

Great to see so many prepared to discuss - and to speak up for women. #LWDScotland
It was a powerful meeting, so many women eager to talk. So much to say.
We were proud to display our new posters at our #LWDScotland meeting earlier this evening. Our attendees had different views on where we're going & how to get there, but all united on the importance of sex-based rights. Hopefully a few more signatures on @SexMattersOrg petition.
We had posters printed to direct #LWDScotland attendees to the @SexMattersOrg petition, and @DalgetySusan explained why a clear definition of sex in the Equality Act is so important for women's rights in Scotland. Hopefully a few more signatures tonight!

@LabWomenDec @JohannLamont A full house tonight. What a positive experience. Thank you for organising. #LWDScotland
"If the Labour party in Scotland turned its focus onto women, we would be the next party of government." @DalgetySusan opens questions and discussion at #LWDScotland with a challenge to the audience.
#LWDScotland hearing from @AlisonJDowling: "My view is that this is a long-term project. We're breaking through the barrier that stopped debate, and I have hope... a lot can be done in ways that exert pressure from the ground up."
"The era of no-debate is over, and because of the way things have been handled in Scotland and now in Westminster, people are talking about it; it's not in the political bubbles." @AlisonJDowling tells #LWDScotland she's going to talk about the grassroots.
"Women coming together have shown what we can do. This is now very firmly on our political agenda, and it's being talked about in our communities." @JohannLamont tells #LWDScotland that many young women are fearful to speak up, knowing they'll be accused of bigotry.
We need to be able to disagree: "We all need to be mature about the value of debate and argument in the Labour group." @JohannLamont tells #LWDScotland there are too many in the Labour movement - including its leadership - hiding behind "you're both as bad as each other".
"No change in women's lives ever came about without organising." @JohannLamont tells #LWDScotland about the campaigns to make rape in marriage a crime. "We should not ask women to re-traumatise themselves again"
"The days of no-debate have ended... I for one am immensely grateful to the women who have dared to speak up." @JohannLamont speaking to a full house at #LWDScotland. "State funded activism turning against women is unacceptable."
#LWDScotland
Meeting under way, full house, lovely atmosphere.

Our verdict: another strong set of proposals in @ScottishLabour @LabourWomenScot Women's Manifesto, addressing the dangers and discrimination faced by women and girls on the basis of sex.

Good to see single-sex provision features in @ScottishLabour @LabourWomenScot Women's Manifesto as part of its set of proposals to enable women's participation in sport & physical activity.

#SP21 #SexMatters #LWDScotland #LabourWomensVoices
@ScottishLabour pledges to "Create community spaces that are welcoming and safe places for women to exercise" and "Expand investment in outdoor education available to young women and girls".
#SP21 #LWDScotland #LabourWomensVoices
@ScottishLabour will "Encourage participation from women, particularly from various religions and diverse minority communities through the provision or single-sex opportunities". Single-sex provision is vital for many women and girls.
