"It's vital that women's voices are heard loudly and clearly in the independence debate. For me, independence has always been less about flags and the symbols of statehood and much more about having the powers we need to build a better future for Scotland - one where we invest our vast national resources in tackling child poverty and securing world class education and health services, instead of wasting money on immoral weapons of mass destruction.
"I think that's a message that will resonate strongly with women over the next two years as we build support for a yes vote in 2014."
