Women's Budget Group

Who we are

The UK Women’s Budget Group is the UK’s leading feminist economics think tank

We are the only UK-wide think tank focused on exploring the economy through a gendered lens and we are the leading feminist organisation dedicated to the economy. 

We are a research, advocacy and training organisation advancing gender equality in policymaking through feminist approaches to economics. Working nationally and internationally, we build and exchange the evidence, data, knowledge, capacity and will for change.

Our culture and values

Human Rights

We will ensure that we work in line with the sort of society we want to see; based on substantive equality and respect for human rights, where care is valued and shared and which allows everyone to live in dignity, reach their full potential and fully participate.

Feminism

The Women’s Budget Group is a feminist organisation. We recognise that sex-determined social roles have given rise across the world to a variety of forms of patriarchal society in which access to work, resources, assets and income is determined largely by a hierarchy of imposed gendered roles, with men having greater rights, entitlement, and opportunity to access resources than women.

Intersectionality

We recognise that gendered structures of inequality intersect, including those based on class, race, and disability. While our primary focus is on gender equality, we will reflect the intersectional nature of inequality in our work.
