In Germany, Article 3 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany (Grundgesetz, GG) guarantees women and men equal rights.

Federal ministries and authorities are obliged to adopt a gender-specific approach to their spending policies. Based on this mainstreaming approach, funds are earmarked in almost all federal government budget items to promote gender equality and women’s self-determination. Gender budgeting is not applied in the federal budget, but it is used in individual Länder.
