Bundestag election 2025: Election programs of the parties explained - and what content is particularly relevant for women

The SPD has made itself a big taskto be reached by 2030. The SPD wants to orientate itself to the “three R” of the:

• right
• resources
• Representative

Furthermore, the SPD would like to provide fair conditions in the working world of women: theEU entertainment transparency directiveshould be implemented in national law by 2026. In addition, the management position law is to be further developed-with the aim of until 2030parityto be reached on supervisory boards and board members. There is also a desired equality law for the private sector on the agenda.

The SPD also wants to better protect women:

• before
• In front of so-called spy apps
• Before anti-feminism.

The party plans oneTightening of the violence lawAnd want thatAcross the EU becomes a criminal offense. Refugee women are said to be better protected as well as women in the digital space in which criminal lifting gapsshould be closed. Anti-feminism is to be joined at the federal anti-discrimination agency.

Another goal of the SPD is better for womento protect. This includes clear regulated conditions with part -time and parental leave.Women's healthshould receive significantly more attention. And? According to the will of the SPD, the SPD should be decriminalized and regulated outside of criminal law.

Many climate policy concerns were also the subject of the last government of the SPD, the Greens and FDP. In the upcoming legislative period, the SPD seesalso as one of its core tasks: the party strives for onesafe and affordable energy supplyto - without wanting back to the nuclear energy.

, green steel made in Germany,As well as the commitment to the desired climate neutrality make up the SPD's environmental policy vision. TheEuropean Green Deal? Is supported by the SPD. It is important that climate protection is/will be affordable and the climate goals for Germany and the EU are implemented in the best possible way. When it comes to mobility, the SPD relies on electromobility and wants to further advance the expansion of charging stations in public space.

The SPD strives for a paradigm shift and says: "Climate neutrality is also the task of public services." For this, municipalities, the federal states and the federal government would have to take on new tasks and some responsibilities would have to be redesigned. Above all, the municipalities needed more financial scope to cope with their numerous and growing tasks.

The, the SPD says seriously to contain the famous 1.5 degrees of global warming.

The SPD is based on social democratic principles. But what about visions and approaches for social affairs in 2025?

The SPD wants to make life affordable in the long term: this includes in addition to the extendedRental price brakeand affordablealso the permanentReduction of VATon staple foods from seven to five percent.

The SPD is also known that our society is getting older: and even if it does not want to shake the pensions and retirement age, it wants to have a common, solidarity -financedCare systemestablish. This also includes better working and wages in health professions.

AndFamily? A new regulation of the parental allowance would prove that both parents would get parental allowance for six months that are not transferable - plus six months for flexible division. So there would be 18 months of parental allowance instead of 14 - for better reconciling family and work. This approach should also be a fair, natural distribution ofsupport financially. The party wants to offer citizens: inside Germany better education, better daycare centers and schools.

The SPD wants to explicitly expand protection against discrimination against the Basic Law to sexual orientation and gender identity, the party is behind theSelf -determination lawand the previous queer policy achievements. All discrimination queer families (“rainbow families”) in family and desire rights should be canceled.

Sure, the SPD is considered the party of workers: inside. But is that still true in 2025?

If it goes according to the SPD, it shouldstatutory minimum wageto be raised to 15 euros so that one also follows the recommendations of the European directive. Companies that invest in Germany should be relieved tax, top income and assets are to be taxed more: this would relieve 95 percent of people in the Federal Republic, while the remaining five percent of the top earning and large wealthy fairly contribute to the common good. Families with small and medium -sized incomes would benefit the most.

The SPD wants oneGermany fundbring into being. This fund is said to consist of public and private capital in order to be able to meet the important investment needs- for example in the case of electricity and heating networks, the hydrogen network, in the electric charging stations or housing. The goal is common, non -bureaucracy, future -oriented investments and compatibility with the Basic Law set out debt rule (“debt brake”).

The SPD wants to continueInterest rateAfter 45 years of contributions to the pension fund, the party also promises a long -term pension level of 48 percent.

The big goal of the SPD is oneEconomic upturnthat reaches everyone and extends over the areas of education, innovation, digitization and infrastructure.

… thecontinue to stand aside.

The party believes that peace can only be implemented with military security and diplomacy if in doubt. According to the election program, the SPD is committed to the responsible protection of a peaceful, free Europe.

In the election program of the CDU/CSU, a view to women is primarily about theirSecurity. To protect women (especially against violence), the Union relies on the following measures:

Topics such as gender -friendly language and dealing with queer hostility are not explicitly dealt with.

Like most parties, the Union focuses on strengthening the economy.

Above all,Taxes loweredsuch as corporate taxes and VAT - and the solidarity surcharge should be completely eliminated. In this way, the economy should be strengthened and jobs should be secured.

OneShould theSocial security contributionslowered andovertimebe put free of tax. But the pension system in Germany also suffers. To solve this, you should be able to work beyond the statutory retirement age. In addition, private retirement provision is to be promoted for all 6 to 18 year olds.

In addition, the Union parties want ...

... explicitly invest in the Bundeswehr and introduce an growing military service.

The Greens are generally known as an environmental party, but feminism is also the central focus of the party.

Women in particular should go throughsame wages, Good childcare, flexible working time models that are supported full -time and a fair distribution of care work.

The Greens are asdieEnvironmental party known - even if they were accused of (too) many compromises during the traffic light coalition. But what is in your election program?

The Greens understand the establishment of an inclusive society as a higher goal - this includes a social security system, more disabled help and a.

HerMigration policythe party describes as “human and fair”. They are committed to the protection of people who flee from war and political persecution and emphasize the need to immigrate specialists and workers for the German economy. The Greens also explicitly demand the fight against causes of flight.

In the future, the Greens will only see the economy and prosperity in connection withClimate neutrality.

Just like the SPD, the Greens want oneGermany fundCall into life, which consists of public and private capital. This should help with the famous debt brake and give scope for urgently needed future investments.

Life should be affordable, which is why they are for themRental price brakeuse thatGermany ticketsupport and theElectricity taxreduce. The taxes should be fair, which is why they are introducing aBillionaire taxdemand.

TheMinimum wageshould be raised to 15 euros to adapt to inflation. And how should the pension be paid? Here the Greens want to take the first steps into a citizens' insurance and create a pension insurance that works from the federal budget using a loan. For this becomes aCitizen: Interior FundEstablished that invests in German start-ups and growth companies.

... a Germany app to consistently modernize and digitize public administration.

ThisEmission tradeWith its falling upper limit for greenhouse gas emissions, the European climate goals will ensure that greenhouse gas emissions are to be observed. The CO formed by trade in emissions rights₂-Prize ensure that greenhouse gases are always saved where this is the cheapest.

Germany's previous plan, until 2045Climate neutralityTo reach, which is also anchored in the German Climate Protection Act, the party wants to postpone: to 2050, the year in which Europe wants to be climate -neutral.

The FDP would like to abolish the following laws decided in the last legislative period:

• The ban onInternal combustion engines
• theHeating lawWith “his excessive guidelines”

In the event of a government participation, the FDP promises in its election programbetter reconciliation of family and work.

The AfD has a very conservative image of the woman, value the role of woman as a mother and housewife and promotes this- This is reflected in your election program.

The AfD decidedly rejected all efforts to take abortions into oneHuman rightto make and want the law onrestrict. It shouldno advertisingAdd to this and continue to be criminalized. In addition, "the child's ultrasound recordings should be shown so that they are clear about the child's level of development". For this they rely on extensiveSupport of mothersin pregnancy, especially in difficult situations, and alighter Adoption option.

The AfD rejects legally prescribedQuotaand speaksAgainst a gender -appropriateLanguage. It emphasizes the importance of performance and suitability regardless of gender.

Among other things, this includes a planned oneExit from the European UnionAnd a “return to a confidential bundle of confident nations with clear borders”. The AfD rejects the euro and wants to go back toD-Mark. The backup of the analogueCashand the deregulation of the digitalBitcoinsare also in focus.

The party particularly wants to promote medium -sized businesses and entrepreneurship with a focus on innovation. The aim is to obtain technology leadership for Germany. The AfD emphasizes the importance of a social market economy.

It should also be a generalreductiongive of bureaucracy and taxes.
