The Poisoned Umbrella

Starting a better conversation
about being SAFE


‘Secure Scotland’ is a network of people and organisations that is challenging prevailing ideas of security. In place of practices that increase inequality and make us less safe, we want to link up those who think Scotland could look after all its citizens and their environment by responding to basic needs and real threats, and make useful contributions to peace and security in the global community.
