Spring 2020 Digital Roadshows
The current circumstances during the Coronavirus pandemic have turned our lives upside down. We recognise that each woman will have a unique experience of this time, due to where you live, your type of job, your health, the relationships you have, your family circumstances, and so much more. It is our top priority, here at The SWC, to continue to engage with women across the country, listening to your issues and concerns, and working with decision makers to ensure you are heard.
With all of this in mind, The SWC were delighted to be back on the road again...from the safety of our own homes!
Our Spring Calendar of Digital Roadshows took us to locations across Scotland via video conference calls. Women told us about the initial crisis response in their local community, highlighting strong areas of support as well as groups of women who are possibly 'falling through the cracks.' We then discussed the way forward into our 'new normal', developing an understanding of changes women want to see and their areas of concern.
Many women who could not manage the Zoom meetings have also contributed in writing, which has been incorporated into the reports.
Thank you to all who took part in this series of work! You can read each area's Report as they are published, by clicking the links below.
