22. CGIL Social Budget CGIL, in the framework of the project “Account to account for”, has decided in 2008 to set up a social budget at the national confederal level, that will be presented in the next national Congress in May 2010. Making a trade union social budget means, above all, wondering how and to which extent it accomplishes its social mission. By Aitanga Giraldi Lussemburgo 11-12 marzo 2010

23. Cgil social budget objectives are two: • The creation, within the trade union, of a new accountability culture, • by formulating a participated and aware evaluating criteria, able to increase the managing quality of the entire organisation; • 2. The ambition to open new spaces for trust and relationship for all those who CGIL wants to represent. By Aitanga Giraldi Lussemburgo 11-12 marzo 2010

24. CGIL social budget is divided into three parts. • The first, named “The identity of CGIL”, analyses not only the history, the values, the identity and the mission of the Confederation, but also the Italian society and the subjects that CGIL represents. • The second part, named “Organisation and resources”, analyses thoroughly the governance and the economic - organisation structure of the Confederation. • In the last part, at last, there are listed the policies, activities and results achieved by the CGIL national confederal centre. By Aitanga Giraldi Lussemburgo 11-12 marzo 2010

25. CGIL Gender budget The need to include the gender perspective in the social budget of the confederal centre of Cgil, preparatory to the gender budget, starts from the awareness that the answer to the needs of the workers, female and male, of the retired women and men, as well as of all the members of CGIL, can not be without differences, but it must take into consideration all those personal, family, social, working and economic differences that differently stand on women and men. By Aitanga Giraldi Lussemburgo 11-12 marzo 2010

26. The political-union activity developed by the confederal centre of Cgil has been analysed to answer if and how Cgil has addressed the needs of the workers, women and men, of the retired women and men, an answer that can not be the same. By Aitanga Giraldi Lussemburgo 11-12 marzo 2010

27. The gender budget The analysis of Cgil gender budget should be intended as: A complex of processes and methods that assesses, from the point of view of equity and equal opportunity, • The impact on women and men of the social, economic and working policies of Cgil; • The impact on women and men of the in-house organisation policies, which should guarantee equity in the access to the managing assignments at every level. By Aitanga Giraldi Lussemburgo 11-12 marzo 2010

28. The economic policies and choices of Cgil are not neutral, in fact they have a different impact on women and menbeing different their role and social power. • Analysing the budget from a gender view means realising who are the recipients of the benefits and the effects of the policies and action and, in the same time, enables the integration of CGIL policies with the national and European ones. By Aitanga Giraldi Lussemburgo 11-12 marzo 2010

29. The gender budget is a tool for social justice and equal opportunities not only for women, because it allows to analyse the impact of the actions on the “differences” (age, disability, migration, sexual orientation, etc.) answering the specific needs.
