| Scottish Women’s Convention The Scottish Women’s Convention was set up by the Scottish Executive in 2003 in recognition of the need to ensure women’s voices are reaching policy makers. The Scottish Women’s Convention works to develop ways in which to ensure women in Scotland can influence the strategies and policies which affect them. |

In order to mitigate those impacts it is crucial that their voices are heard and that the organisations’ and agencies whose decisions impact on their lives have a clear understanding of the need for gendered policy and practice. |
