About this Event
Women represent 52% of the Scottish population but only 46% of MSPs. The democratic deficit is obvious and the calls for political change include the Presiding Officer, whose audit into how women are represented in the Parliament kickstarted a series of initiatives to address the issue. Join the panel to discuss what needs to be done in the next 25 years to break down barriers to political participation and increase representation.
In partnership with The Young Women’s Movement and The Scottish Youth Parliament.
