The Scottish Women’s Convention (SWC) is encouraging women across Scotland to take part in its annual Women’s Priorities Survey, helping to ensure that women’s voices continue to influence decision-making at every level.
Each year, the SWC gathers the views and experiences of women through surveys, roadshows and community events. The findings help shape the annual Women’s Priorities Report, which is shared directly with policymakers and decision-makers across Scotland. The report assesses whether the Scottish Government’s Programme for Government for 2026/27 reflects the issues and priorities that matter most to women.
To ensure the report accurately represents women across the country, the SWC is looking to hear from as many women as possible, regardless of age, background, ethnicity or location. Broad participation is essential to ensure that a diverse range of experiences and perspectives are reflected in the final report.
The survey takes approximately 5 to 8 minutes to complete and offers women an opportunity to share their views on the issues affecting their lives and communities.
Important Information for Participants
The Scottish Women’s Convention has highlighted several key points for anyone considering taking part:
