WOMEN’S equality organisations are calling for the Scottish Government to create a taskforce to monitor women’s participation and representation in local politics.
Engender, Elect Her and Women 50:50 are campaigning for a future where women have equal representation in local councils in Scotland.
Following the May 2022 election, the number of women councillors increased from 29% to 35%, an increase of just 6%, meaning that most of Scotland’s councils remain dominated by men.
