✊ Day 2 - STUC Women’s Conference 2026 – FBU Emergency Motion FBU Scotland’s Seona Hart moved an emergency motion calling for support for the Reclaim the Night demonstration and demanding sustainable, multi-year funding for women’s services across Scotland. Seona highlighted the uncertainty facing vital services, including Murray’s Initiative, which faces the loss of funding in March 2027. With violence against women and girls declared a national emergency, Seona challenged the lack of secure funding for the specialist services women depend upon. 🗣️ “Their recovery doesn’t operate on a funding cycle. Their safety doesn’t come with a financial year-end. And neither should the support they depend upon.” Seona called for multi-year, ring-fenced funding to protect these services, the women who rely on them and the workers delivering vital support. ✊ “You cannot declare an emergency and then fund the response as though it is optional.” 📢 RECLAIM THE NIGHT DEMONSTRATION 📅 Monday 26 October 🕔 5pm 📍 Outside the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh A national emergency demands a national response! #STUCWomensConference #FBUWomen #ReclaimTheNight #EndVAWG #FundWomensServices @fbunational @FBUScotNorth @FbuEast @WestScotlandFBU @FBU_Scotland_EC @AngusSproul @JMcKScotRegSec @fire_scot @reclaimthenight @SistersACG
