At a recent meeting, Glasgow City S.I. welcomed our newest member, Maggie to the local club and to Soroptimist International more widely.
Maggie immediately gave the club a fascinating and compelling presentation on the 1951 Refugee Convention and it could be updated and how a system which is fit for purpose for women and girls might be created. The Convention defines the term ‘refugee’ and outlines the rights of the displaced, as well as the legal obligations of States to protect them. Many feel the Convention is out of date and needs to be re-written to reflect today’s priorities and needs.
This excellent presentation was a wonderful introduction to Maggie and her club members look forward to working with her in the years to come.
