St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art hosted over 100 attendees at their International Women’s Day event on Friday 6 March.

Led by the Community Development Team, the event was an inspiring and engaging celebration under the theme “Give to Gain” – emphasising the power of sharing experiences, supporting others and building collective strength.

The programme featured a strong and diverse line-up, including Jelina Rahman-Berlow (Human Rights Lawyer and dialysis patient), Karyn McCluskey (CEO, Community Justice Scotland), Natalie Logan Maclean (CEO, Sisco) and Catherine Salmon (Editor, The Herald). The speakers’ contributions were widely praised for being authentic, thought-provoking and empowering. 

Attendee feedback highlighted the impact of hearing “brave women speakers” who were “very uplifting” alongside appreciation for the “good variety of speakers” and the supportive atmosphere created throughout the event. Participants reported feeling more inspired, confident and connected as a result of attending, with the event providing a valuable platform for sharing lived experience and raising awareness of issues affecting women both locally and globally. 

The high demand for tickets, alongside suggestions for a larger venue and more events of this kind, demonstrates both the success of the event and the clear appetite for continued opportunities that promote wellbeing, amplify women’s voices and strengthen community connections across Glasgow.
