Uniform Scotland

Campaigning for gender neutral uniforms in all Scottish schools!

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

Dear "traditions", you really are making our fight for equality harder.
Yours sincerely,
Girls in uncomfortable skirts

Took the opportunity to heap praise on the mighty @jessicainsall in Parliament this afternoon for her Campaign to see gender neutral uniforms for every school in Scotland : https://t.co/FIyjzoXMq7

We support #firefightingsexism bc if kids keep hearing terms like 'fireman' 'policeman'&'spaceman' they grow up believing they're men's jobs https://t.co/fvPj9sNkzk

We must remember that parents, not pupils, choose which school children attend. All schools should take responsibility and provide equality. https://t.co/gPmTKvsuTt

Girls and young women need to be heard. They should be consulted at all levels, from the classroom to the boardroom. #GirlsTakeover

The everyday impact of gender stereotypes: we're quoted in @guardian on the 2017 @Girlguiding #GirlsAttitudes report https://t.co/z6roEN5uVA

[Let Toys Be Toys @LetToysBeToys]

95% of girls aged 11-21 want #advertisers to show more positive, diverse representations of girls https://t.co/kq4RXGy2vX #GirlsAttitudes

In almost all cases, parents choose the school for the children. No school has any excuse for discrimination, regardless of faith. https://t.co/iUy0iFWHbw

Whoop whoop! 🎉🎉🎉 https://t.co/S4gVrJGwBq

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

Can we make this a thing in schools? https://t.co/os43Z6EAJ7

[Let Toys Be Toys @LetToysBeToys]

To us, this is a simple, common sense move, helping parents & children to freely pick the clothes they like best: https://t.co/uxDAbRawYx

We're here for anyone in Scotland! Also willing to help and share advice with anyone, no matter where you are. https://t.co/MnivrflSr5

@BBCWomansHour @GenderDiary Because most schools still have discriminatory policies it's almost impossible to raise kids gender neutrally.

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

Not only do schools put up with it, they encourage it through sexist policy. https://t.co/7kFmOtr8ap

[Let Toys Be Toys @LetToysBeToys]

We wouldn’t put up with racist discrimination in our schools, so why gender stereotyping? Our @OlivaceousD in @tes https://t.co/Z4xTyMYSXt

What do you think? https://t.co/vFCeWoHARa

[Fawcett Society @fawcettsociety]

We support @PlanUK's call for everyone to stand up for girls online, encouraging their voices and calling out abuse we see. #GirlsBelongHere

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

Schools around Scotland still force pupils to wear sexist uniforms. @NicolaSturgeon do you not believe that it is time we did something? https://t.co/llS9KxPCh2

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

It is almost beyond belief that in 2017 a major company could think this is in any way acceptable. Shows what we are still up against. https://t.co/3C7Nop8o1E

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

School year starting here in Scotland. Let's make this a year of progress and let's not be afraid to speak up! #scotland #School2017

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

@HillmanLeah @RescueSchools @TrousersForAll It's ridiculous. Some schools say skirts are smarter...but same standards don't apply to boys.

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

@RescueSchools @HillmanLeah @TrousersForAll unfortunately a large number of schools do, and many are very reluctant to change. 😰

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

This is a really important point...I don't think I've ever seen a conductor in a skirt on stage because they restrict your movement so much. https://t.co/FT1Tck29pi

[Uniform Scotland @UniformEquality]

@UniformEquality this can be very harmful as it can leave men feeling that their feelings should be hidden and not shared.
