Summary

About
Engender works to make Scotland a fairer, safer place where women can flourish and contribute to both the social and market economies with dignity, freedom and justice. Engender seeks to increase women’s power and influence; make visible the impact of sexism on women and on Scotland’s social, economic and political development; and support people, organisations and our government to make equality a reality.
Engender seeks to improve women’s lives by:
- Tackling inequality and gender issues wherever they arise
- Making Government aware of what women need and want
- Pressing for equal representation of women at all levels of Government and public life
- Training and supporting women within their communities to influence decision makers
- Providing networking in Scotland and internationally
