We celebrated IWD by talking about women's equality & Scotland's futures
Our International Women's Day conference on 7 March brought together 150 women to talk about women's equality in the context of the independence referendum. We were hosted at Glasgow City Chambers by Councillor Martha Wardrop, and in these lavish surroundings we launched our report on equality and the current division of power and responsibility between Holyrood and Westminster.
Excellent report from @EngenderScot: which both YES and Better Together should chew on : http://t.co/5S0q5oWxFo #IWDScot

Today we are launching our report 'Gender Equality and Scotland's Constitutional Futures', to coincide with International Women's Day.

Engender pays tribute to Professor Ailsa McKay: feminist economist, sister, and friend
The Engender staff and board are sad to have lost a sister, friend, and inspirational feminist economist in Professor Ailsa McKay.
Ailsa had a profound effect on the community of women in Scotland who work for gender equality. She founded the Scottish Women’s Budget Group, which campaigned for a gender budget analysis of the Scottish Budget. She established the Women in Scotland’s Economy Research Centre at Glasgow Caledonian University. She was an internationally acclaimed academic, who convened conferences in Glasgow that brought together the finest feminist economists in the world.
Engender's Articulate project
Some of our Twitter followers may have noticed that we’ve been talking about sectarianism quite a lot recently.
We’re at the early stages of an exciting project to find out more about how intra-Christian sectarianism affects women across Scotland, and to help make sure that women’s voices are heard loud and clear in discussions about how to make communities strong and resilient.
