John Swinney says he is “more determined than ever” to tackle violence against women and girls. He makes the comments after meeting with abuse survivors, frontline organisations, and public sector bodies involved in supporting victims and addressing violence.
Both outlets frame the message as a commitment to pursuing further action, with Swinney emphasizing that tackling the problem requires broader involvement. The Glasgow Times adds that lasting change depends on everyone playing a role, reflecting an approach that involves not only public agencies but also wider community and service partners.
Across the reports, the common focus is on consultation and engagement with stakeholders, including survivor voices and frontline services. While the outlets differ slightly in wording—one highlighting Swinney’s determination and the other stressing shared responsibility—they present the same overall update: Swinney is reiterating his intent to work toward measures aimed at reducing violence and improving outcomes.
