Initiative für eine geschlechtergerechte Haushaltsführung in Berlin

Die "Initiative für eine geschlechtergerechte Haushaltsführung in Berlin" entstand im Mai 2001 - mit dabei sind Frauen aus Nichtregierungsorganisationen, Stiftungen, der Wissenschaft, Parteien und Gewerkschaften. Nachdem sie sich auf Berliner Ebene für die Einführung des Instruments Gender Budgeting stark gemacht hatten, hat das Abgeordnetenhaus einen Beschluss zur Einführung von Gender Budgeting gefasst - allerdings zunächst nur in einigen Bezirken und in einigen Ressorts. Die Initiative achtet nunmehr darauf, dass Gender Budgeting in Berlin auch wirklich umgesetzt wird. Weiteres Ziel ist es, Gender Budgeting auf kommunaler, Landes- und Bundesebene in Deutschland zur Anwendung zu bringen.
