Dr. Elisabeth Klatzer is the fourth lecturer in the 2018 RIKK & UNU-GEST lecture series during spring term 2018. Dr. Klatzer is a specialist and civil-society activist on feminist economics and gender responsive budgeting. Her lecture is titled “Budgeting for Women’s Rights: Tax Justice and Gender Equality”.
In her lecture Dr. Klatzer will reflect upon the progress and challenges in implementing gender responsive budgeting, an approach with high potential for public budgeting to focus on women’s and human rights obligations. Furthermore, the lecture will address on the work on human rights obligations in the context of public finance. With a focus on public revenue, the available fiscal space, some propositions on making progress by focusing on tax justice for gender equality will be discussed.

She has published extensively on the issues of feminist economics, economic policy and in particular on gender responsive budgeting.
