Students march in Glasgow to demand end to violence against women

Summarised from Glasgow Times's report · Updated 23 Oct, 14:02 · Archive

Students in Glasgow are organising marches on 24 November to demand safer streets for women and girls as part of the 16 Days of Action campaign calling for an end to male violence against women. Strathclyde University students will march from Richmond Street on campus, while Glasgow University students will start their demonstration at the gates on University Avenue.

Strathclyde Students Union said the marches aim to 'demand action to make our streets safer and show solidarity with survivors of rape and sexual assault'. The union stated that 'women, trans and non-binary people and those presenting as female, have the right to walk the streets at night without the fear of sexual and gendered violence'. The organisers want to protest against victim-blaming and raise awareness of what they describe as 'the appalling rape conviction rate in Scotland'.
