Labour's deputy leader Councillor Soryia Siddique is planning to present a motion which calls for the council to make changes to support women who stand to be elected.
The city’s Labour group deputy leader, Councillor Soryia Siddique, wants Glasgow City Council to adopt new practices to support women who stand for election.
It comes in the wake of “repugnant” abuse allegedly aimed at Diane Abbott MP by a Conservative party donor. “This requires councils, all levels of government and political parties, social media and print press to act.” She will also ask the council to “take action on abuse, bullying, racism and harassment in all forms” and to adopt voluntary guidance on family leave for councillors set out by the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities .
