1 In 5 Scots think Human Rights 'For Minorities'

The Scottish Government has stepped up its efforts against leaving the EU, with a campaign promoting human rights.

A recent survey shows nearly half of Scots think the rights afforded to Scots have 'no bearing' on their everyday life.

MSPs say european legislation has allowed the introduction of equal marriage and trade union legislation.

Social Justice Secretary Alex Neil said: "Human rights are for everyone, and they should be protected at all costs. As a modern, progressive country we have a duty to uphold the highest standards.

"Many of us enjoy the benefits, freedoms and protection that human rights offer us without actually knowing much about the rights themselves, and without that knowledge it can be hard for us to reaffirm and protect them.

"It is vital that we build a society where human rights are fully understood, respected and more importantly used. Therefore this campaign is vital to increase awareness of how human rights affect our daily lives and help us to seek support when we feel our rights are being infringed."
