Hannah is currently Policy Coordinator at the Equality Network; volunteers for the International Campaign for Women’s Right to Safe Abortion; is on the Abortion Rights Scotland Committee; and is a member of YouAct: European Youth Network on Sexual and Reproductive Rights.

Following her undergrad degree in History of Art, Hannah lived in France for one year and the Netherlands for the next year, where she says she had her “feminist awakening” while completing an internship with Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF). (WECF advocates for gender equality in international and sustainable development, and enables women to participate in global environmental policy processes).

After this she worked at Centrepoint, the UK’s leading charity for homeless young people, and volunteered on the Rape Crisis England and Wales helpline for two years.

Next, Hannah completed an MSc in Equality and Human Rights at Glasgow University, where she focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights and conducted research into abortion in Scotland.

Her research, which was carried out in collaboration with Amnesty Scotland, and provided a Scottish perspective to Amnesty International’s My Body My Rights campaign, was awarded a distinction and has been raised by MSPs in the Scottish Parliament.

Hannah has presented her research at three international conferences, and her paper is due to be published in the Women’s Reproductive Health journal this year.

As well as her continuing voluntary work to raise awareness of abortion access around the world – which has taken her to meet MEPs in the European Parliament in Brussels, and will soon see her meeting with campaigners in Poland – Hannah has also volunteered in refugee camps in Hungary and Serbia with Migration Aid.

After her masters, Hannah worked on Scottish Women’s Aid’s domestic abuse and forced marriage helpline; Kalitasha, a menstrual hygiene management organisation; and now for Equality Network, which promotes equality and human rights for LGBTI people in Scotland.
