uk women's budget group: local data project
The Women’s Budget Group is a is independent and not-for-profit membership
network consisting of women’s voluntary organisations, academics and policy
expert whose aims are to promote a gender equal economy. We do this through
conducting in depth analysis of the impact of policy on women. Our analysis has
been used to influence policy debates on a national and local level. We run
several projects that work to build the capacity of women’s organisations as
well as national and international campaigning organisations and other equality
groups. Find out more about the capacity building work we are doing through our
Local Data Project Nationally, we have recently published our final report from
our Feminist Green New Deal project. The report provides a clear roadmap to a
sustainable and equal UK economy. Internationally, our Global Partnerships &
Learning Programme has been working together with civil society organisations on
how they can effectively be in open dialogue with their governments to develop
policies and allocate resources in ways that improve the lives of women, with an
emphasis on the most marginalised women. We strongly believe that we can all
work together to design and demand a new economy: an economy which has the
wellbeing of individuals, communities and the planet at its centre; an economy
which values care, both paid and unpaid. Watch this short clip to understand why
we urgently need alternative policies that can help create a caring economy now.
