Experts, EU and Member State officials, civil society representatives and activists gathered in Nicosia from 25th to 28th of March 2026, under the patronage of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026 to discuss \u201cGender Budgeting in the New EU Multiannual Financial Framework: Making Budgets Work for Gender Equality and Women’s Human Rights<\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u201d.<\/p>\n

As the EU prepares its next 7-year budget, this is the time to call for a budget that will shape present and future generations. We must invest in what truly matters: equality, care, inclusion, and human rights! Now is the time to ensure equality is at the centre of future EU expenditures and to use gender-responsive budgeting as a tool towards furthering equality through clear objectives, indicators and earmarked allocations!<\/p>\n

The discussions in the room evidenced the need for concretely enhancing proposals for the next EU budget, including establishing clear gender equality obligations, in the form of gender equality objectives in future funding programmes and dedicated, earmarked funding for gender equality and addressing gender-based violence.<\/p>\n

Now is our unique window of opportunity to join forces to make the next EU budget work for gender equality and a prosperous, peaceful future!
\nGBWN members shared our research, expertise and recommendations for improving gender-responsive budgeting in the European Union’s forthcoming new budget, the Multiannual Financial Framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
