Hi pals, it’s @pmkupiec from @youngwomenscot here! I’ll be doing a takeover today to talk about our involvement in this project, what we do as an organisation, my own journey into activism, and a bit of day in the life of a charity director - so tune in 💗 [Image description: Patrycja wearing a Moomins dress and laughing out loud in the middle of a conversation with two other women, taken by @emilyroseliddle at the launch of our Status of Young Women in Scotland report in May]
The September 7th event is hosted by the Scottish Parliament’s Deputy Presiding Officer, Linda Fabiani. Linda will welcome 400 women into the Parliament chamber, where the Scotland’s Women Stand event will focus entirely on women in politics and democracy. Women from all over Scotland will come together, and we are committed to being fully inclusive of women from all backgrounds and making the event fully accessible. Sign up and contact us about any inclusion measures we can make to welcome you to the event. Accessibility information is available through the link to event info in our bio! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Image description: illustrating featuring a woman shaming another woman’s hand and a woman at a press conference with numerous microphones.] Illustration credit: Moira Zahra ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @parliamentproject @youngwomenscot @scotparl @scotgov #ScotWomenStand #ScotParl20 #ScotWomenRise #WomenOfTheWorld #WomenSupportingWomen #RepresentationMatters #AskHerToStand #GetReadyToStand #WomenInPolitics #WomenEmpoweringWomen #YourVoiceYourVote
