SUMMARY:The International War on Women
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. SUBSCRIBERS HAVE BEEN CONTACTED AND ALL TICKET PURCHASES WILL BE REFUNDED. WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE. \n  \nAbout the Event \nThe International War on Women affects the mortality\, freedom and life chances of millions of women around the world. There is no single root cause\, but a myriad of prejudice and legislation that hounds women through every country they live in as a refugee. \nIn war zones\, women are punished for their existence in targeted and coercive measures\, designed to humiliate\, control and subjugate. Once settled in a new country\, women refugees often find themselves unable to work because they have dependants\, or are left in precarious housing or open to exploitation by a system that fails to protect them. The situation is at crisis point\, but globally and at a national level\, we are not providing an adequate response. \n\nEvery two seconds\, another person is displaced.\n50% are women; just under 50% are under 18.\n30% of women refugees have suffered some form of torture.\nThe UN know\, admit and publish statistics that prove that refugee women are more affected by violence than any other women population in the world.\nGermany is the only EU country to make the top 10 list of countries taking most refugees.\nThe US has cut its refugee resettlement by 80% in the last 5 years.\nAbout 80% of all displaced peoples stay within their wider regional geography often literally moving to the country next door. Just over a third (30 million or so) cross international borders and so are deemed to be refugees.\n\nWhat can we do? \nJoin us for an afternoon lecture and discussion with WFI National Committee member Maggie Lennon\, who will take us through the growing global threat to women and girls’ wellbeing\, and what action should be taken on a national and international level. \n  \nTickets \nScroll down to buy tickets\, or to select a free one. We are a not-for-profit organisation and all monies raised will be used to fund our research and running costs\, as well as to subsidise free tickets\, which are available to women who need them\, for all our events. \nAlthough our events help us raise funds\, it’s just as important to us to provide an opportunity for women to get together and support each other. For this reason\, we always offer tickets at various prices.  It’s your decision how much you’d like to contribute. \n  \nTravel \nThis event will take place in Flemington House\, in Glasgow. See below for the address and a link to google maps. \nTo check bus routes\, click the link and enter your postcode: Bus Journey Planner – Greater Glasgow\n\nBy train\, from Glasgow Queen Street Station: Trains run from upper and lower levels – to check times / routes: \nTrain Journey Planner\n\n\nVenue Accessibility\n\nA small amount of blue badge spaces are available.

SUMMARY:National Council: Abortion is Healthcare.
DESCRIPTION:Abortion is an offence under common law in Scotland; the Abortion Act 1967 (as amended) applies in Scotland and refers to “any rule of law relating to the procurement of abortion”. \nAn offence? To have bodily autonomy and to ensure we are free to make the right choices for our lives? Why is abortion criminalised in Scotland? \n \nNational Council\nJoin us online or in person\, at our first live National Council since before Covid.  Let’s talk about Abortion Rights and what needs to change. \nIn addition to our main topic of abortion\, we’ll chat about WFI’s current plans and how you can get involved with fundraising for the referendum and advocating for Independence. \nOur hosts\, WFI Dumfries and Galloway\, will also present an evaluation of Equality Impact Assessments in their local authority. This is a great piece of activism that any of us can do in our own area\, so if you aren’t familiar with EIAs\, listen in and you may be able to make life better in your own region! \nFinally\, there will be an Open Mic session. \nThere will be a short break for refreshments and a chance for a blether. \nRemote access to the event will be available via a Zoom link\, which will be sent to you after registration. Hope to see you there\, however you connect!
