Equality and Human Rights Mainstreaming Strategy
Overall Reflections
In summary,
We need to be able to demonstrate that we have turned our equality and human rights ambitions into reality.
The Scottish Government acknowledges this need and we know that truly embedding equality and human rights into the work of the Scottish Government and wider public sector is the only way to address persistent and systemic inequality.
We are therefore developing:
- a mainstreaming Strategy to lay out our vision and create a clear framework to structure activity
- a mainstreaming toolkit to provide practical support and guidance
- a publicly shared and rolling action plan to improve transparency and accountability
It is the detail of these mechanisms that we describe in this consultation and seek your views on.

- Utilising evidence and experience
- Enhancing capability and culture
