Politicians have banded together to raise money to help women's aid groups.

Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale, SNP MP Alison Thewliss and Education Secretary Angela Constance were among those who attended the fundraising concert in Glasgow on Thursday night.

The event was part of Scottish Women's Aid celebrations of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence - a UN-led initiative which started on Wednesday.

The event at Mono Bar involved 13 indie pop acts covering girl group songs to raise more than £2,000 for the charity.

There was also support from Belle and Sebastian, who donated signed records and limited edition prints as raffle prizes, and frontman Stuart Murdoch was in attendance.

The concert was organised by TeenCanteen member Carla Easton, who was inspired to help the charity after reading about funding cuts to local groups.

She said: "The Girl Effect is the pulling together of a creative community in order to help some of the most vulnerable people in society at a time when funding is so tight and cuts are being made daily.

"I'd love to live in a world where organisations such as Scottish Women's Aid - wonderful as they are - don't need to exist because as a society we had managed to end gender inequality and we'd been able to treat and stop the causes of domestic abuse.

"Until such a world exists, I feel I should do my part to try and get it there".

Scottish Green candidate Zara Kitson and Scottish Tory candidate Annie Wells also attended the concert.
