GWD in Conversation with Mary Howden

GWD Director Jude English spoke with Mary Howden, who is a feminist, safeguarding expert, and Director of the Women’s Rights Network (Scotland). Their conversation centered on our fourth declaration: “Female-Only Spaces are Necessary.”

Mary brought a deep professional experience and a fierce commitment to protecting vulnerable women and children to the conversation, which touched on, among other topics, the need for single-sex spaces; safeguarding concerns in youth services; how gender ideology is prioritised over evidence-based care and campaigning strategies and building resilient networks.
