The collapse of the coalition government in Germany has raised uncertainties for several family and women’s initiatives, including a planned increase in child benefits and a key domestic violence law. Federal Minister Lisa Paus has highlighted the recently approved Kita Quality Law, which secures funding for early childhood education, but upcoming projects face obstacles without a majority in parliament. The future of abortion law reform also appears bleak as the coalition lacks the strength to propose new legislation. Criticism towards Paus is rising, reflecting broader concerns over social justice promises.
