Question

To ask the Scottish Government how it measures the effectiveness of its approach to supporting victims of domestic abuse who identify as male.


Answer

The focus of Equally Safe as a strategy tackling violence against women and girls means that reports against the performance indicators on survivors record data on women and children, with the option to include data on men.

We will also be publishing the Year One report on progress against the Equally Safe delivery plan in November to mark the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism against gender based violence. The report will highlight specific pieces of work and will include a tracker showing progress against every action in the delivery plan.
