Women and men experience the world differently and face different economic realities and challenges. They use public services differently and therefore decisions made to increase or decrease spending on services will impact women and men differently. Public spending and revenue raising decisions that do not recognise these different experiences risk entrenching inequality within our communities. This session will look at how using gender budgeting approaches can help those involved in designing and delivering transport infrastructure and systems to address inequality.
What is gender-responsive budgeting?
Gender-responsive budgeting is a strategy that creates budgets that work for everyone. By considering and analysing the unique and diverse needs of every person, gender-responsive budgets strive for a fair distribution of resources.
This is a joint event with Women in Transport.
This event will be useful for transport planners, transport researchers, transport engineers or technicians, as well as policy makers, town planners, architects.
