The motion

That the Parliament marks the 115th anniversary of International Women’s Day, which celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women alongside global calls to action for accelerating gender equality; pays tribute to the many groups in Scotland and beyond that bring communities together to foster greater understanding, compassion and empathy; pays particular tribute to the Women of Wonder (WOW), a peer support group facilitated by G15 Thriving Places that supports women of Drumchapel to build confidence, connections and promote activities to create awareness of the various issues women face; notes that WOW ensures that every participant's voice, experience and strengths are welcomed in a safe space and contributes to wider community wellbeing by empowering women to take an active role in shaping local activities and amplifying women’s voices across the G15 area; thanks all those involved for their tireless dedication and hard work, and wishes them all the best for their International Women’s Day celebration and march.
