This video showcases UNIFEM’s work on gender-responsive budgeting (GRB). The film is set in Mysore, India, where an elected woman representative used the skills gained from a UNIFEM-supported GRB training to facilitate dialogue between women and municipal government and mobilize women to articulate their priorities and demand action from local leaders. As a result, budget allocations were secured for the construction of a health centre and the removal of a health hazard from the community. The film, which includes a number of interviews with key stakeholders from the GRB initiative, demonstrates the value of women’s participation in budget policymaking in order to ensure that budgets effectively address poverty experienced by women.
