Call for a safe and equal Scotland

We all want an equal Scotland free of men’s violence against women and girls.  

The next Scottish Parliament election is a chance to set Scotland’s focus for the next five years. It’s vital that ending men’s violence against women and girls must be at the heart of it. 

In the run up to May’s election, political parties will use their manifestos to tell us what they care about and what actions they’ll commit to if elected.

These commitments will shape the policies, budgets, and services the new parliament will put in place - aka they will impact waiting times for hospital appointments, running of public transport, how we take care of our local community...

and what action is being taken to end men’s violence against women and girls.

If preventing men’s violence against women and girls isn’t in their manifestos, it won’t be on their agenda. 

That’s why we’ve launched our manifesto - to show every party that ending men’s violence against women and girls must be a national priority.Manifesto displayed on an ipad. Front cover has a blue photograph of a woman looking serene walking through a city. The Zero Tolerance logo is on the top left corner. The title is 'Safe, Equal, Free: A manifesto for a Scotland free from men's violence against women and girls.' Published for the 2026 Scottish parliament election.

By investing in prevention, we can build a safer, fairer Scotland for everyone.
