These first three images below depict the inspirational work that has been carried out by the Highland Multicultural Friends group who contributed to the #SewTheirNames campaign in 2024 -  a reminder to the world that the dead are not numbers – they have NAMES. The SewTheirNames banner has been included in the Palestine Museum US exhibition opening alongside the Venice Biennale this year.Aside from their involvement in campaigning this group provides a friendly community for women and children and offers language lessons, sewing, food making, craft, a kids club and a creche.You can find more information about this group here Highland Multicultural FriendsHappy International Womens Day!#AccelerateAction

Women and girls experience more barriers than men when using the places around them, and are more likely to feel unsafe due to the risk of experiencing violence and harassment.
