Gender budgeting and public policy: the challenges to operationalising gender justice in India
本文分析了印度2005年引入性别预算后,因政府和非政府机构未能全面落实相关程序,导致性别平等目标未能实现,并建议将性别预算进一步嵌入行政机制以推动性别敏感的治理。
In 2005, a gender budget statement was first presented as a part of India’s financial budget to reflect the exact budgetary expenditures on various gender related programmes. Despite being viewed as a progressive development by the transnational feminist movement it is currently seen as a promise half-fulfilled, primarily due to the failure of the governmental and non-governmental sector to take into account all the gender budget procedures that need to be implemented to achieve tangible gender equality outcomes. The article highlights that gender budgets should be further solidified within the administrative mechanisms to result in more gender sensitive approaches of governance.
