Gender Budget Focuses on Women's Safety but lags in Education, Jobs and Social Security
100 Days of NDA III Government
2024
Policy Brief
Gender Responsive Governance
In a reflection on the first 100 days of the NDA III government, FPC uses a gender lens to examine the announcements within the Union Budget 2024-25 and the recent changes in law (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2024) as well as recent data including incidents of egregious gender-based violence (GBV). We find that the promises of ‘women-led development’ are far from being fulfilled or even taken seriously in these first 100 days, which gives us cause for concern.
