Examples of Gender Mainstreaming in Vienna

With targeted municipal offers and services, the City of Vienna aims to achieve positive sociopolitical changes for all citizens. One of the top goals of the City Administration is the increased orientation towards the needs and wishes of the citizens. In the context of gender mainstreaming, this means that the different life situations and needs of women and men have to be perceived and considered. This is best illustrated by some examples:

• Public lighting
• Cemeteries
• Day care centres
• Safe underground car parks
• Gender budgeting
