‘Speaking Out: Recalling Women’s Aid in Scotland’ from Glasgow Women’s Library on Vimeo.
This film captures the stories and memories of eight women who have been involved in Women’s Aid at different points in its history, as well as with a range of Women’s Aid groups in Scotland. Their stories help to capture how Women’s Aid has changed during its 40+ year history in Scotland, but also demonstrate that many aspects of Women’s Aid’s work have remained the same: supporting women, children and young people, challenging attitudes around domestic abuse, and campaigning for an end to violence against women.
The Speaking Out film was filmed by a group of fantastic project volunteers, and edited and produced by Helena Ohman, the filmmaker who was working with us on the project. Filming took place between the summer and autumn of 2016.
