Within the Heinrich Böll Foundation, gender democracy is a joint task, i.e. gender democracy is part of all our activities. There is no such thing as a textbook for gender democracy; instead it is a work-in-progress to change our organisation as well as society as a whole. Concepts for gender democracy have to be reworked and relived again and again, always depending on the concrete social and cultural environment.
Within the foundation at least 50 percent of all positions in all tiers in hierarchy have to be filled with women. All employees are actively involved in the achievement of gender democracy. Thus gender democracy, far from being an abstract tenet, is integrated into the everyday working life of the foundation’s personnel. Through them, through their activities in political education and developmental co-operation, gender democracy will spread to other parts of society and to other parts of the world.
