Scottish Government’s Consultation on Witchcraft Convictions (Pardons) (Scotland) Bill: our response

We have submitted our response to the Scottish Government for the Consultation on Witchcraft Convictions (Pardons) (Scotland) Bill.

Our Scottish Women’s Rights Centre are strongly in favour of the posthumous pardon of all those convicted of witchcraft in Scotland. We support efforts to name our common history and redress wrongs because only by sharing a wide public understanding of the roots of misogyny.
