Supporting a collective leadership approach to tackling violence against women and girls
As part of the calendar of events taking place across Scotland to mark 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, COSLA and the Improvement Service hosted an online event on 10 December 2020 to explore the collective leadership that is needed at a local and national level to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) and gender inequality.
The event aimed to:
- Raise awareness of the range of work that has happened across Scotland to date to implement Equally Safe and the priorities moving forward
- Explore the key leadership role that different stakeholders can play in ensuring that tackling VAWG and gender inequality is recognised as a strategic priority, and is embedded as part of wider COVID-19 recovery, renewal and transformation planning
- Identify the critical components required to ensure that a joined-up, multi-agency, whole system approach can be promoted to improving outcomes for women and children affected by violence and abuse across different policy agendas.
