Motion · S4M-12244 · 3 Feb 2015
Glasgow Women's Aid at the University of Glasgow
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Glasgow Women’s Aid on becoming an affiliated society of the University of Glasgow; recognises that the organisation has been providing support for over 41 years to women, children and young people who are experiencing domestic abuse; understands that Glasgow Women’s Aid works from a feminist perspective that acknowledges that the root cause of the abuse of women and children is the imbalance of power that exists in society and allows men more power, and further understands that, as an affiliated society of the university, it hopes to raise further awareness of these issues on campus by hosting a number of events.
