Welcome

Close the Gap works in Scotland on women’s participation in the labour market.

We work with policymakers, employers and employees to influence and enable action to address the causes of women’s inequality at work.

As we move forward through these challenging times the determination to prevent and eradicate violence against women and girls in all its forms has never been more important ⬇️
We have published a refreshed version of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Supplementary National Violence Against Women (VAWG) Guidance for Local Authorities and their strategic partners today. Read more - and find the Guidance - here: cosla.gov.uk/news/septem… 12 hours ago

REMINDER: we are recruiting new trustees to our board! We're looking for ppl who are committed to women's labour market equality. We know diverse boards are more effective so we're especially encouraging applications from BME ppl, disabled ppl & LGBT ppl goodmoves.com/vacancy/a4… 1 day ago
