30 Years of Gender Budgeting in International Perspective: What Have We Gained and What Have We Lost?

Deeprose Lecture Theatre, Govan Mbeki Building, Glasgow Caledonian University

WiSE Centre for Economic Justice are this year delighted to welcome our own Visiting Professor, Emeritus Professor University of Essex, and Chair Commission on a Gender Equal Economy, Diane Elson (pictured above), to give the 6th Annual Ailsa McKay Annual Memorial Lecture.Drawing on 30 years of personal experience working on gender budgeting with governments, women’s organisations and international organisations, Professor Elson will argue that we have gained widespread endorsement for gender budgeting, including by IMF, but lost much its transformative power. However, all is not lost, as the case of South Africa may show. Gender budgeting is still an important arena for feminist engagement and she will be inviting comment on the state of play in Scotland.
