Equally Safe Delivery Plan - Easy Read version
Easy read version of Scotland’s delivery plan that underpins the Equally Safe strategy. The Equally Safe delivery plan contains the key deliverables and actions that will enable us to prevent and eradicate violence against women and girls and the underlying attitudes and systems that perpetuate it.
About Violence Against Women and Girls
Violence means hurting someone in some way.
Violence against women and girls means things like:
- controlling their lives
- threatening them
- hitting them
- making them feel frightened
- sexual attacks
- saying nasty things
- taking away their control over money
- following them
- making them have sex with other people for money
- forcing them to marry
Violence happens to women and girls of all ages and all backgrounds.
It happens across Scotland.
It is wrong.
Our work is to stop violence against women and girls in Scotland.
We will do this by using our plan called Equally Safe.
The Equally Safe plan says that we want Scotland to be a strong country where women and girls are safe from violence.
These organisations will work together:
- the Scottish Government
- COSLA – an organisation for all the local councils in Scotland
- local organisations – like health and social care, police and councils
- specialist organisations – like charities and experts
