An interesting debate at London School of Economics by the members of the Women's Budget Group
An interesting debate at London School of Economics by the members of the Women's Budget Group after the Chancelor of Exchequer presented the #Budget2020. Some of the points being... this is not a women's or child budget as social care, single mothers, child poverty is not addressed. Tax cuts will benefit rich households and the local government funding is ever low which will affect delivery of services and have impact on quality of life women and men have. The Chancellor demonstrates a rather male dominated understanding of society if he considers pubs are seen as center of community Overall there is a lack of gender analysis for most of the budget interventions. This government turns from austerity to huge fiscal stimulus but there is nothing for women, business as usual.

The advanced training on gender responsive budgeting is of particular importance to Radar as a new CSO that has yet to promote itself. We have acquired important knowledge, especially in terms on the modalities to prepare gender analysis on public policies and budgets. I highly recommend GBWN programs to anyone who intends to deal with this extremely important issue.
