Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://www.scottishwomensconvention.org:
"The Scottish Women's Convention (SWC) was set up by the Scottish Executive in 2003 in recognition of the need to ensure women's voices reached policy makers. The organisation works to ensure that women throughout Scotland have an opportunity to be involved in activities and events. The information gathered is reported to key decision makers at both a local and national level. Working across Scotland, the organisation seeks to illustrate real women's views, opinions and concerns on key policy areas. Women have a right to be heard. Decision makers have a right to listen."
