Equalities

Oppressive attitudes, practices and ideologies, which are expressed in individual, institutional and structural discrimination, remain prevalent in society. The voluntary sector has been and is responsible for major advances in policy and practice in achieving a culture shift and in tackling discrimination.

The Dundee Equality Forum was established following the Equals Conference held in November 2003 where delegates supported the proposal to set up a Forum in the city. Membership of the Dundee Equality Forum is a made of representatives of voluntary and community organisations and individuals who are committed to ensuring that the voluntary sector has the skills and capacity necessary to meet the challenges of advancing equality of opportunity in society.

The Forum is supported through Dundee Voluntary Action.
