Clydebank Trade Union Council (TUC) will host a public meeting next week to mark International Women’s Day and highlight the ongoing fight for women’s equality.
The event, taking place on Monday, March 16, at 7pm in the Hub Community Centre on Kilbowie Road, will focus on women’s long struggle for equality and liberation, as well as the continuing dangers of male-orientated abuse and violence, particularly from far-right movements.
Speakers will include Dawn Brennan of Clydebank Women Supporting Women, STUC Deputy General Secretary Linda Sommerville, Liz McGachey from the PCS and STUC Women’s Committee, and Megan McDougal of Unite Community West of Scotland Branch.
Clydebank TUC Secretary Tom Morrison said the council remains committed to rebuilding a politicised working-class base in local communities. He added that public meetings like this are central to that goal, providing a platform to discuss issues affecting working-class people.
He said: "Clydebank TUC is dedicated to rebuilding a politicised working class base in local communities.
"Part of that strategy is holding regular public meetings on the issues that affect our class.
"Our next meeting is around the issues of International Women's Day which was celebrated recently which will commemorate women's long fight and struggle for equality and liberation.
"The danger of male orientated abuse and violence posed to women and girls from the far right will also be discussed. "
The meeting is open to all members of the public.
