NASA pirates I love this @McluckieAlison SACCH

Brilliant SACCH tonight. @McluckieAlison beautifully drawing the links between experience and rights and the work of practitioners. Strong call to action for us all to deliver change. RCPCH Scotland

Powerful presentation at SACCH tonight from Medics Against Violence - 50k young people have given their voices and experiences to help deliver change. Violence prevention is a human rights issue, and there is much more to do.

“I didn’t think this life was possible” says a young man from Glasgow whose early experience was poverty, violence and addiction. “My earliest memory was fear”. Now giving an eloquent and powerful presentation to SACCH as a proud father and #HumanRightsDefender.

Powerful presentation from Callum to SACCH highlighting his journey from feeling that nobody was listening to becoming a #HumanRightsDefender “no reward has been more powerful than being able to be a good dad”. Medics Against Violence Mairi Stark Scottish Violence Reduction Unit 𝕁𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕤 𝔻𝕠𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕥𝕪 💜

No reward has been greater to Callum than being able to be a good Dad. The cycle has been broken. Inspiring and motivating talk by Callum tonight to SACCH. Amazing work by Navigator Scotland and Medics Against Violence
