Feminist Foreign Policy

The world is at a breaking point, and the urgency to adopt a true Feminist Foreign Policy has never been greater. Across the globe, women, girls, and SOGIESC diverse people are under attack, their rights rolled back by rising authoritarianism, anti-gender movements, and shrinking civic space.

Twenty-five years after the United Nations adopted Resolution 1325, the Women, Peace and Security agenda is both a landmark in diplomacy and a study in unfulfilled promise. Its most profound achievement has been to force open a conversation about the gendered power structures that fuel conflict. 

The EU and EU countries must commit to a feminist foreign policy. This means an intersectional feminist approach which puts gender, racial, economic and climate justice at its heart, prioritises decolonisation and puts the voices of those who have historically been least represented at the centre of policymaking.
