IN 2018, following a well attended Women’s Conference in Glasgow in February, rule changes were brought forward to provide for a policy-making Labour Women’s Conference in Scotland, which would also elect its own women’s committee to take forward the decisions, and directly elect two women onto reserved seats on the Scottish executive committee.
The first Scottish Labour women’s policy making conference for many years took place in Dunfermline in November 2018. It was a representative and enthusiastic meeting, as women came together from across Scotland, from trade unions, CLPs and socialist societies.
Four motions from that Conference will be included in the debates in Dundee this weekend on the following topics selected as priorities: Mental health, equal pay, social care and the state pension age for women, and members of the newly constituted women’s committee will speak to these.
