Glasgow's Zero hero

Mary Hepburn, senior lecturer in women's reproductive health at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, has been honoured with a lifetime achievement award by the Zero Tolerance Awards 2007.

She was recognised for her work with vulnerable women across Glasgow over the past 20 years.

Dr Hepburn said: "Only fairly recently have the links between domestic abuse and pregnancy been formally identified."

Zero Tolerance is a charity campaigning to prevent violence against women and children.
