Victims and their families will attend the event co-chaired by Mr Findlay with journalist Marion Scott of The Sunday Post, which has launched a campaign against male violence called ‘It’s Time’.

Among those due to attend are Sean Hunter, whose sister Stacy Hunter, 35, was murdered in Renfrewshire by her husband who was on bail after attacking her.

Mr Findlay recently challenged Mr Swinney at First Minister’s Questions over the the Scottish government’s “deliberate and relentless weakening of Scotland’s justice system and rising levels of violence against women and girls”.

Mr Findlay said that all politicians should “hear directly from those who have suffered from the devastating impact of violence against women”.

He added that the SNP’s planned early release scheme for all long-term prisoners must be scrapped.

Mr Findlay commented: “I’m honoured to be hosting this roundtable at Holyrood and incredibly grateful to all the victims and their families for agreeing to give their personal testimony.

“It’s critical for MSPs to hear directly from those whose have suffered from the devastating impact of violence against women. Far too often, victims and their surviving relatives are further traumatised by Scotland’s justice system.

“John Swinney concedes that violence against women is a ‘pandemic’ in Scotland and has pledged to use his position to take action. I hope that he’s able to attend.

“His words are welcome, but victims rightly demand meaningful action from a government that has relentlessly weakened the justice system over the past 19 years.

“We are calling for a culture shift which would support and respect victims. We also want to see tightening and enforcing of ineffective bail laws, proper support for police officers, and an immediate commitment from the SNP to scrap its plans to free all long-term prisoners after they’ve served just two-thirds of their sentence.”
