This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Aileen McKenzie:- "Council notes that 2018 marks one hundred years since a major landmark in the history of our democracy - the first time women in the UK had the right to vote. Council further notes that the Suffrage movement saw women organise and campaign for their voice to be heard from the mid-1860s. In the 21st century, men and women share the same voting rights - but there are other barriers to parity which need to be overcome. Council recognises that just 32% of MPs and 33% of councillors are women. Council believes that, 100 years later, the journey to full equality is still far from complete. Council supports Women's 50:50 campaign for equal representation of women in Scotland and backs the campaigns call for fairer representation of women across Scotland's Public Life. Council further calls on the Scottish Government to commit to a Suffrage fund, and outreach work to champion and encourage women to stand for public office, which should ensure that we engage a diverse group of women from different races, cultures, religions, disabilities, socio economic statuses and sexualities.".
