womensrights.network/post/how-safe-… Last night at a packed roundtable event sponsored by @TessWhite4NE we launched our Our latest report which focuses on sexual assaults in our Scottish hospitals, How safe are our Scottish hospitals? The concerning extent of sexual assaults and rapes in Scottish hospitals 2019-2024. The report highlights that NHS boards and private hospitals are failing to safeguard women and girls. Between 2019 and 2024, across 57 hospitals 288 sexual assaults including rapes were reported. 163 of these assaults occurred on hospital wards. Please download our report

@MaryHowden @ForWomenScot @WRNScotland @jane_mclenachan @DrK_IngalaSmith Oh thank you! I'm so sorry I couldn't be there. And even more sorry we have to fight so hard to demonstrate just how desperate the situation is with male violence against women.

@ForWomenScot @WRNScotland @jane_mclenachan @DrK_IngalaSmith @MagiGibson It absolutely was!

@jane_mclenachan @ForWomenScot @DrK_IngalaSmith @MagiGibson .@jane_mclenachan you did @MagiGibson proud!

@ForWomenScot @WRNScotland @DrK_IngalaSmith @MagiGibson Thank you. Honoured to be able to read @MagiGibson magnificent poem although so disappointing not to have her with us.

Such a powerful meeting with some incredible speakers. Thanks to @WRNScotland for organising. The banner is beautiful & moving. @DrK_IngalaSmith was as passionate as always & the background to the new Rape Crisis Alliance & the way they were treated by RCS is enraging!

@ForWomenScot @WRNScotland @DrK_IngalaSmith Thank you for all you do - women are so much stronger together. I really hope she finds a safe home too ❤️💛

@jane_mclenachan @WRNScotland @DrK_IngalaSmith And a beautiful rendition of @MagiGibson's poem!

@SelkieStitching @WRNScotland @DrK_IngalaSmith Thank you for this amazing tribute. I hope a suitable space is found to exhibit it.

Incredible and so moving to see this beautiful work by @selkiestitching close up today at @ScotParl with @WRNScotland. Thanks to @clairebakermsp @SharonDowey_ and @DrPamGosal. A very emotional event.💔 #MVAWG #DeadWomenCount

@coletteisp Highlights the importance of groups like @WRNScotland getting the message into @ScotParl and organising cross-party events to keep women's rights & protections centre stage.

@WRNScotland @HainieMartha @ScotParl @clairebakermsp @SharonDowey_ @DrPamGosal @beirasplace @DrK_IngalaSmith @SelkieStitching Incredibly moving, powerful event but also anger-provoking at how little has changed to safeguard women & girls in Scotland. Beyond time @scotgov took this abuse & violence seriously rather than prioritising the demands of men to infiltrate all women's spaces.

Thanks to all for highlighting these tragic deaths of women through male violence It is indeed #ScotlandsShame #LostWomen

@WRNScotland @WomensRightsNet @ScotParl @clairebakermsp @SharonDowey_ @DrPamGosal @beirasplace @DrK_IngalaSmith @SelkieStitching Fantastic from our Scottish sisters - and good to see support from an awesome group of women!🔥

Incredibly powerful @WRNScotland event at Holyrood this afternoon discussing male violence against women & girls. @SelkieStitching presented background to their fabulous #LostWomen banner. Thanks to @SharonDowey_ & @clairebakermsp for hosting & moving @DrK_IngalaSmith speech.

@WRNScotland @ScotParl @clairebakermsp @SharonDowey_ @DrPamGosal @beirasplace @DrK_IngalaSmith @SelkieStitching Excellent work and huge thanks to those supporting such an important event 👏👏

Today we held a #MVAWG event at @ScotParl Thank you to @clairebakermsp and @SharonDowey_ for sponsoring it We heard from @DrPamGosal Lesley Johnston CEO @beirasplace Liz Curran #ScottishRapeCrisisAlliance @DrK_IngalaSmith @SelkieStitching whose Lost Women Banner is so powerful yet heartbreaking Sexual crimes against women have risen in Scotland #ScotlandsShame

It is good news that @PoliceScotland will now be recording biological and transgender status separately. It is astonishing that our organisations have allowed themselves to be taken over by an ideology that corrupts data collection and impacts on planning priorities. How long will it take to recover from this?

Excellent news ⬇️

This assault happened in the patient's own home. A young mother who had recently given birth and was at her most vulnerable. Our reports show the full extent of rapes and sexual assaults within our hospital system. There is a serious safeguarding problem in UK healthcare. …6-4d7f-869c-a043485bcc87.filesusr.com/ugd/a86851_baa… …6-4d7f-869c-a043485bcc87.filesusr.com/ugd/18f02a_431…
