What could the next EU budget mean for women´s justice?

ALT What could the next EU budget mean for women´s justice?

The EU´s next 7-year budget includes 300 billion euros towards foreign policy. This section of the budget is traditionally reserved for development assistance programmes, responding to crises, and humanitarian aid.

How this could advance gender justice? These euros could be invested into development programs that support women and girls´ rights. This could look like: - Support for survivors of gender-based violence - Initiatives to dismantle gender stereotypes and patriarchal norms - Cooperation with local organizations and feminist movements

Gender targets / streaming Traditionally, the EU budget has gender targets to guarantee that enough funds are going to the political objective of gender equality. This can be achieved through targeted actions or through mainstreaming, which means integrating support for gender equality actions in programs that aren´t directly related.

What are these targets going? The EU has boasted that its next budget will include "simpler" and "more flexible" funding goals. This means that specific standards, such as gender equality targets, have been fully removed, putting women´s rights around the world at risk.

Now, women´s rights are increasingly under threat. Funding women´s rights initatives means equality, democracy and progress por ALL. The EU must stand firm to protect these rights and ensure that hard-won advances are not rolled back.

Europe wants COP31 to deliver. What will Europe bring? New EU conclusions back global climate finance goals—but leave Europe’s delivery plan unclear. Vulnerable communities need resources. Climate cooperation needs trust. Both need more than promises.

The EU must turn commitments into action: → Credible climate finance plans → Reliable adaptation support → Just transition shaped by workers and communities → Fossil-fuel action at home Bring the means to unlock progress—or risk being seen again as a blocker.

Aid is not just money. Every euro that the EU spends has a name, a face, and a story. Through sharing stories of women who participated in ActionAid’s agroecology trainings in Rwanda, we hope to show that when done right, aid promotes agency, independence, and empowerment.

Being a good neighbor is not about expecting something in return every time you share. It’s about helping others as an inherent good in an interdependent world. The Global Europe channel of the next EU budget needs to reflect this reality and choose solidarity over self-interest
