Simita Kumar: “We must stand against racism, hatred and intimidation and those who would seek to divide our communities.”

The UK Government’s cuts to international aid are deeply concerning, particularly the scale of reductions confirmed for Malawi.

Scotland is a diverse, multicultural, inclusive and welcoming nation and those who choose to make their lives here are valued members of our communities.

Our Programme for Government commits to funding organisations under significant pressure, including rape crisis centres providing justice advocacy who have closed their waiting lists for that support.

The Scottish Government is committed to supporting all those who are experiencing domestic abuse, which we know is predominantly women and girls.
