Gender Budgeting: Myths and Realities

AT THE 25 YEARS INTERNATIONAL WOMENS POLITICS WORKSHOP
Bonn, 13-14 October 2000

• First, money talks
• Second, men listen to money talk!

These truisms are at the heart of the enthusiasm with which gender budgeting has been embraced by activists. When we talk budget, we finally have a sense that we are getting to the heart of the matter… and that men will sit up and listen.
