The women of Glasgow - the women of the world - should not have to live in fear of men’s violence.
We will be holding a vigil in George Square, at 6pm this Friday the 13th, to commemorate the lives of Eleni, Moira, Michelle, Jeannette, and all the women we’ve lost.
This will be a peaceful vigil with singing, flowers and candles. It will be a time to grieve for the women we’ve lost - but also a time to stand up, be counted, and let everyone know… we won’t stand for this anymore. Violence against women must stop, and until our society changes, more women will die needlessly at the hands of men everyday.
We must let the city know that the women of this city are not and will not be victims. We invite men to attend this vigil and be bold about their refusal to participate in a culture then denigrates, objectifies and, ultimitately, kills women.
Join us. Please forward this message, and invite your loved ones to attend with you.
In memory and in rage,
Glasgow Feminist Network

I attended Gearge Sq and was unable to speak out because it was so emotional for me.
However I would like to remind everyone about the many disabled women who are regularly subjected to sexual assault/violence and because these vulnerable women are often unable speak out, or are not believed/valued, they are discriminated against and receive no recourse to the law or justice.We know how difficult it is for able bodied women to report these hideous crimes,what chance for the very vulnerable members of society.
