Abstract:
This brochure shows where Germany stands in terms of gender equality and shows what specific measures are being taken to combat existing inequalities from the expansion of day care facilities to the Stronger than Violence (Stärker als Gewalt) initiative. It thus relates to the promotion of women's social power in Germany. In recent years, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) invested extensively in good childcare and greater reconciliation of family and work, set up the Violence against Women hotline for women affected by violence, established legal transparency measures regarding remuneration, and, with the help of the binding quota, increased the proportion of women on supervisory boards. For the first time in its history, the Federal Government has adopted a gender equality strategy to which all ministries are committed. A specific chapter on Business and Politics notes that Increasing numbers of women are rising to the upper echelons in politics and business in Germany. The proportion of women in the public sector has recently risen significantly. However, the gender balance has not yet been fully achieved.
