Political activity

In 1980 Gisela Bill became a member of the Greens . She helped to build the Mainz-Bingen district association and the Rhineland-Palatinate regional association. In 1982 Gisela Bill first became an assessor in the state board of the party DIE GRÜNEN and from 1983 to 1985 its spokeswoman. In 1987 she was elected to the first green parliamentary group in the Rhineland-Palatinate parliament. The parliamentary group elected her as its group leader and spokeswoman for labor market, social and health policy, women's policy, family, child and youth policy. She became a member of the Social Policy Committee, of which she will be a member until 2001. In 1991 Gisela Bill was re-elected to the state parliament and initially again as group chairman. She also took over the post of chairwoman of the Committee on Women's Issues, which she was to hold for ten years until 2001. After an internal party dispute in 1993, the green education politician Friedel Grützmacher replaced Gisela Bill as leader of the group.

In 1996 Gisela Bill was re-elected to the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament for a third legislative period. In a parliamentary group working group with Friedel Grützmacher, she linked issues of social and women's policy with issues of domestic and legal policy. During this legislative period, Bill and Grützmacher put gender mainstreaming and an independent anti-discrimination policy for lesbians and gays on the agenda of the state parliament for the first time.

In 2001, Gisela Bill, who ran at number 7 on the list of her party, left the state parliament because the Greens only won six seats in the state parliament. She completed training as a gender trainer and in the same year became a member of the Rhineland-Palatinate women's advisory board and a member of the Rhineland-Palatinate women's alliance. Since 2002 she has been a member of the SWR Broadcasting Council for the State Women's Council. Bill has been chairwoman of the state women's council since 2006.

Political priorities

Their initiatives ranged from the establishment of a women's budget, innovative tools to promote women, poverty and wealth reporting, the promotion of parental participation in day-care centers, to an anti-discrimination policy for lesbians and gays.

As chairwoman of the regional women's advisory council, she is currently campaigning for quoted electoral lists in local elections.
