CDU on equality and diversity

The CDU wants to implement Saxony's action plan on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and expand accessibility. Medical and nursing care for people with disabilities is also to receive more attention.

The CDU wants to support people with disabilities better. State buildings should be easier to enter. Information should come in easy language. Health care and nursing care should also get better.

The basis is the action plan as updated in 2023, whose measures are to be carried out. Together with disability advocacy groups, the CDU wants to review whether adjustments are needed. As examples of accessibility, the platform names state buildings and easy-to-understand information. Public awareness of the concerns of people with disabilities is also to grow. Financial support for athletes with disabilities is to be structurally developed further.

The CDU wants more women in STEM fields and leadership positions, and more men in nursing and childcare professions. Pay gaps are to be eliminated, and the party wants to require immigrants to respect gender equality.

The CDU wants equal chances for women and men. More women should work in tech jobs and as bosses. More men should work in nursing and childcare. Women and men should get equal pay. Immigrants should respect equal rights too.

Female role models from STEM and entrepreneurship are to become more visible to girls and young women, and programs inside and outside education are to be developed further. Where pay inequality exists, the CDU wants to work toward removing it. With regard to immigration, it wants to teach and demand a Central European understanding of gender roles and not tolerate misogyny. The platform regards general gender-inclusive language as symbolic politics that overemphasizes gender and lacks majority acceptance.
