The Press Conference will be hosted by Scottish Socialist Party women candidates at the top of the regional lists who are likely to become Members of the Scottish Parliament after May 1st.
They include Carolyn Leckie for Central Scotland; Rosie Kane, the No. 2 in Glasgow and Frances Curran for the West of Scotland.

* free sanitary protection
* free morning-after pill available from pharmacies
* policies to tackle domestic abuse
