The Scottish Women's Convention was set up by the Scottish Executive in recognition of the need to ensure women's voices are reaching the policy makers. The Scottish Women's Convention works to develop ways in which to ensure women in Scotland can influence the strategies and policies which affect them and their families.
The Scottish Women's Convention communicates and consults with women in Scotland to influence public policy. Through SWC's policy work, policy groups, round table and celebratory events, the SWC strives to have contact with women and relevant organisations. The SWC provides an effective way of consulting with a diverse range of women in Scotland and has a network of over 300,000 women throughout Scotland including women in Business, Churches, Trades Unions and Voluntary Organisations. |
