#MakeTaxesWorkForWomen

Today, the Global Alliance for Tax Justice (GATJ), its regional networks and members of its Tax and Gender Working Group are starting the 6th edition of the Global Days of Action on Tax Justice for Women’s Rights, coinciding with the 66th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). From 14 to 25 March, we will hold mobilisations all around the world to call for tax and fiscal justice to advance gender equality and women's rights. Join us to make taxes work for women!

Our demands

1. Ensure tax and fiscal policies are in line with the 5R framework: recognise, reduce, redistribute, reclaim and remuneration/reward care and domestic work.

2. Reduce unfair tax burdens on women and adopt progressive, redistributive and gender equal taxation – including new forms of taxation of capital and wealth – combined with less reliance on consumption taxes. 

3. Remove gender bias and discrimination in tax policies to ensure that tax revenues are raised and spent in ways that promote gender equality.

4. Ensure adequate financing of gender-responsive social services that promote women’s rights, and reduce inequalities, including by gender budgeting.

5. Establish an inclusive intergovernmental UN Global Tax Body, to ensure equal taxing rights of nation states and stop all forms of tax abuse by multinational corporations and the wealthy elites.
