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.

This week marks the beginning of #16DaysOfActivism. VAW occurs at alarmingly high rates, and women are currently facing increased barriers to access support. We've outlined best practice tips for line managers to better support victim-survivors: closethegap.org.uk/news/… 1 day ago
#VAW is a cause & a consequence of gender inequality. In order to end VAW we have to to tackle gender inequality in all its forms, including women’s labour market inequality. Without concrete action, progress cannot be made on preventing VAW in or out of the workplace #16Days
Today at 3pm @ScotParl is holding its Making Scotland #EquallySafe debate to mark the Annual International Day for the Elimination of #VAW. You can read our briefing here closethegap.org.uk/conte… that highlights #VAW as a workplace issue & the need for action to tackle it #16Days 2 days ago
