The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) Wee Box 2024 campaign has been launched this Lent; understands that the Wee Box 2024 campaign asks people across the country to help support SCIAF workers and their partners across the globe; further understands that the Wee Box donations will help to make big changes to the lives of women and girls in what it sees as the poverty-stricken Rwanda, where sexual and physical violence has, it believes, become normalised; understands that the campaign is focusing on Rwanda, where, in April 1994, 100 days of mass genocide began, with up to a million people thought to have died in the violence, including an estimated 500,000 women and children who brutally lost their lives; commends SCIAF’s work in supporting the countries hardest hit by climate change, poverty and violence, and wishes it well for the future.
