Susan Smith recounts the battle with the Scottish government that sent shockwaves across the world
Manage episode 492388058 series 3318299
Susan Smith from For Women Scotland exclusively joins the Women’s Rights Network to recount the extraordinary battle of three women determined to hold the Scottish government to account and who successfully secured a ruling from the UK Supreme Court that has sent positive shockwaves across the Western world.
Susan details the outrageous antics of elected politicians in Scotland and how willingly the Scottish parliament allowed itself to be led by powerful trans lobby groups down a dystopian road.
Listen to the extent to which women’s rights advocates were shunned and locked out of critical discussions and decision making that would impact on women throughout Scotland, a dismissal that ultimately left For Women Scotland with no option but to litigate against those who failed the electorate, namely The Scottish Ministers.
Susan also discusses what happens next and why it's essential that individuals be brave and sue organisations and business that continue to breach UK equality law.
