Glasgow Green’s Women’s Network: An Interview with Former Candidates

Cass Macgregor Sun 24 Mar, 2019

The Scottish Green Party promotes women's empowerment and gender equality and sees this as inextricably linked to action on social and environmental matters. This means we actively encourage women to put themselves forwards as candidates for elections where we get the opportunity to speak out about our policies, from climate change to abortion rights. I decided to meet up with a couple of fabulous former Green candidates, Lorraine McLaren and Gill MacDonald, from Glasgow to chat about what it was like.

Greens Stand by Female Workers Fighting for Equal Pay

Allan Young Wed 24 Oct, 2018
