The American Coalition of Life Activists ACLA was a pro life advocacy group that was the subject of controversy for its series of Wanted poster Wanted style posters.

The Glasgow Girls are a group of seven young women in Glasgow , Scotland , who have highlighted the poor treatment of failed asylum seekers . Named by two of its members Amal Azzudin and Roza Salih, the group was established by the group who were all members of Drumchapel High School in Glasgow in response to the detention of one of their friends, Agnesa Murselaj. Publicity grew as the girls challenged the First Minister and publicly voiced their concerns as more children at their school were dawn raid ed, detained and deported . After visiting the Scottish Parliament twice, The Glasgow Girls obtained cross party support on the issue. The group won the Scottish Campaign of the Year Award in 2005 at the annual Scottish politician of the year ceremony for their hard work. However, it did not stop them from demanding to know just what had happened to the protocol Jack McConnell that had promised to obtain from the Home Office that social services, education services, and the Immigration police would be consulted before the removal of a family. Two documentaries have been made by the BBC about their campaign, one of which won the Nations and Regions Award in the Amnesty International UK Media Awards. http www.bbc.co.uk pressoffice pressreleases stories 2006 06 june 28 amnesty.shtml Their campaign continues.
