In 2016, The Scottish Government pledged to establish NACWG, to help drive forward action to tackle gender inequality. The objectives are to play a leading role in raising awareness of gender inequality in Scotland, act as a champion for positive progress and policies that are making a meaningful difference to the lives of women and girls & be a catalyst for change. The National Advisory Council on Women and Girls (NACWG) was formed as a catalyst for change, addressing gender inequality by providing independent strategic advice to the First Minister.Since its inception in 2017, it has made a series of recommendations to tackle gender inequality across Scotland, with a particular focus on creating the leadership, culture and systems required to enable women and girls’ equality to be better prioritised and responded to competently.
