Scotland Hub Webinar
Wednesday 20th November 13.00-14.00
The Scotland Hub of Women in Transport are pleased to invite registrations to our online technical webinar ‘Introduction to Gender Budgeting’. Women in Transport members from all regions are welcome to attend.
We are delighted to host Heather Williams, Training Lead at Scottish Women’s Budget Group. Heather has worked in the violence against women sector for 20 years in a variety of roles including delivering support to women, children and young people, delivering training and awareness raising.
What we will cover ?
Women and men experience the world differently and face different economic realities and challenges. They use public services differently and therefore decisions made to increase or decrease spending on services will impact women and men differently. Decisions on how best to spend public money and how to raise public funds through tax and charges on services can affect women and men differently. Public spending and revenue raising decisions that do not recognise these different experiences risk entrenching inequality within our communities.
This session will provide an introduction to gender budgeting and how it can help us to address inequality.
