Show commitment to gender equality

On Friday, 8th March, it was International Woman's Day, and I joined a rally outside the library at the University of Glasgow to highlight the problems with a culture of sexism and support pressure for change.

There were impressive speeches from students including the SRC VP Student Support & President Elect, and reps from the Feminist Society, and the Politics Society calling for the University Management and GUU to ensure the University Campus is a safe and equal place.

 Rally gathers outside the GUU.

I have given my support to the call on the Senate, the Court and Senior Mangement Group of the University of Glasgow to make a public statement to reiterate the University's commitment to 'erradicate gender discrimination in its work, learning, teaching and research environment'.
