Abstract: This study explores intersectional gender budgeting (GB), originating from feminist economics, along with its implementation opportunities and challenges. Using a methodology of triangulation, the research emphasizes the importance of intersectional GB by considering factors such as gender, mobility, and (un)employment. Despite its potential, intersectional GB faces challenges, including complexity and diminished political power. The research question addressed is: How can intersectionality be integrated into gender budgeting without reinforcing existing inequality? By focusing on the development of intersectional indicators for municipal budgets from a practice-theoretical perspective, the study positions itself within Germany's evolving landscape of GB.
