Erin is a 21 year old politics student from Glasgow.
Erin has been engaged in feminist politics for a number of years through participation with Rape Crisis’ young activists group “STAMP” which aims to tackle gender stereotypes.
She volunteers as a support worker for survivors of sexual abuse, and was shortlisted for a Write to End Violence Against Women Award for ‘Best Blog’ from Zero Tolerance Scotland.
Erin has her own blog where she covers issues ranging from politics to football. With these two interests in mind, she has written for a variety of sources including the Scottish Socialist Voice, Period Poverty Scotland and 90 Minute Cynic.
Erin has also commenced an ongoing campaign to make sanitary products free at Celtic Park, in the hope that other teams will follow suit. She hopes to cover the politics of menstruation for her honours dissertation later this year.
