THE Open University in Scotland has awarded honorary doctorates to three individuals for their significant contributions to society.
Women’s rights activist Fiona Drouet, campaigner for refugees and asylum seekers Sabir Zazai and women in business champion Professor Lynne Cadenhead were all honoured with doctorates for their outstanding work.
After her daughter took her own life after being subjected to abuse by a fellow student, Drouet founded EmilyTest to campaign against gender-based violence in colleges and universities. In 2021, the charity launched the first-ever gender-based violence charter for colleges and universities to tackle domestic violence.
