The Liberal Democrats want to tear down the barriers that stand between women and getting on in the workplace.
Business and Equalities Minister Jo Swinson unveiled a five-point plan to create more opportunities for women, including a “dad revolution for shared parental leave”.
The party also wants to challenge gender stereotypes and encourage more women into careers in fields such as science and engineering.
Ms Swinson, who is the candidate for East Dunbartonshire, said she was proud of the achievements of the Lib Dems in government in championing the rights of women and girls to “reach their potential at home and abroad”.
“More women are in work than ever before, women have secured more than a third of all recent FTSE100 board appointments and by introducing shared parental leave we have challenged the outdated system which prevented dads from playing a full role in their child’s life,” she said.
“Liberal Democrats believe society should give equal opportunities to women from all walks of life and across all generations.
“We are ambitious about what can be achieved so that every girl and woman has the chance to get on in the world. That ambition starts with removing barriers.
“Today I am launching the Scottish Liberal Democrat five-point plan to remove the barriers which too often stand between girls, women and opportunity.”
Ms Swinson unveiled the plan as she visited a female-run business in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire, which makes lubrication systems for motorcycles, with Nick Clegg’s wife, Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, a successful lawyer.
