Women for Independence is a grass-roots political organisation which seeks to improve the representation of women in public and political life throughout Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About )〕 The movement promotes the causes of Scottish independence and other constitutional changes likely to contribute to greater democracy, gender equality and social justice.〔 ==History== The group was established in September 2012, with the aim of ensure women's voices and interests were given fair consideration leading up to the Scottish independence referendum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Founding Principles )〕 It was formed with the support of Jeane Freeman, who was a key member of the team of former First Minister, Jack McConnell, while he was leading the Scottish Parliament on behalf of the Scottish Labour Party. The group's creation was welcomed by Yes Scotland and by the Scottish Government's Deputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon. Women were a particularly important demographic in the referendum due to an increasingly large gender gap in opinion polling. In March 2013, a poll showed that while 47% of men supported independence, only 25% of women did; this gap had grown by seven points on the January beforehand. Ivor Knox, the director of Panelbase, said at the time that the poll showed a gender gap that "appears to be greater than ever, particularly among younger voters".
