Description

First Minister John Swinney is intensifying his push to end violence against women and girls in Scotland, meeting survivors and frontline groups to underscore that real change demands collective action — especially from men, who must challenge sexism and abusive behavior. Swinney, deeply moved by survivor stories, insists the issue is unacceptable with no excuses, while acknowledging many victims remain silent for fear of disbelief or backlash. The government is strengthening laws and services, but Swinney warns more work is needed. He’s set to meet public sector partners to shape new policies, emphasizing that lasting safety requires everyone — not just the state — to take responsibility.
