In this upbeat episode, Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene speak with Fatima Joji, a member of the National Executive of Women for Independence (WFI), about the organisation’s bold relaunch on International Women’s Day .

WFI played a vital role in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, building a respected and influential grassroots network of women-led local groups. But over the last decade, momentum has slowed and some groups have gone quiet. Fatima shares her vision for re-energising WFI, the outcome of their first Annual General Meeting, and how women’s voices are still crucial to shaping an independent Scotland.

00:02:09  Relaunching Women for Independence

00:16:27  Supporting women into politics

00:28:50  A wellbeing economy

00:33:56  WFI visibility
