We welcome some positive steps in this year's #ScotPfG, including commitments to an 'Equality Strategy for Women and Girls', & to building gender into the next Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan'. We also welcome the investment in a Women's Health Research Fund.

To ensure that policies & public services truly work for women, the #ScotPfG must focus on addressing the structural roots of intersectional gender inequality.
Otherwise, the Scottish Government risks excluding the most marginalised & will fail to deliver the meaningful change we need. 🧵⬇
Helping 20,000 households is a start—but Scotland needs a bold, large-scale push to insulate homes and end fuel poverty for good.

According to today's PforG the first two CCUs will open by the end of 2021, with construction of the new Women’s National Facility scheduled to begin early in 2020. Had @HumzaYousaf not previously advised that all 3 would be complete and operational by the end of 2020? #ScotPfG.
