Ms Eilidh Dickson:

We came into this project a bit late, after a draft of a New Common Charter for Cooperation Within and Between these Islands had already been developed, which was the North and South element. I will not be so bold as to make any comment on the involvement of Scottish political structures in any of this. From a civil society perspective, however, particularly given asymmetric devolution within the UK, it has been a valuable experience to be able to talk to other women's organisations. The patriarchy does not stop at the Border. We share similar challenges but in different contexts and the learning we derive is really valuable for our work.
