What is Gender Responsive Budgeting?

What if every rupee worked for everyone?

This explainer video from FES Pakistan explores Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB), a powerful approach that helps make government budgets fairer, smarter, and more inclusive for all citizens, especially women and marginalized communities.

By viewing public spending through a gender lens, GRB ensures that every rupee is used to meet the real needs of people. It helps improve education and healthcare, and creates more opportunities for women in the workforce.

In this video, you will learn:

• What GRB really means and what it does not
• How traditional budgets often overlook key groups
• Real examples of how GRB can improve lives
• The inspiring role of the Women’s Parliamentary Caucus in advancing GRB in Pakistan

True progress happens when every rupee counts and every voice is heard.
