In Germany, Article 3 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany (Grundgesetz, GG) guarantees women and men equal rights.
The Federal ministries and federal agencies are obliged to take gender-specific measures into account in their spending policies. As a result of this mainstreaming approach, funds to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women can be found in almost all budget items of the federal government.
Gender budgeting as an instrument is not applied in the federal budget, but is used in some Länder.
