Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany held the first Shaping Feminist Foreign Policy conference and I was honoured to be a contributing member to provide insight, advice and recommendations on economic policies that will feed directly into Germany’s reflections and the drafting of guidelines.
Foreign policies around the world are transforming to build better and more sustainable economies, improve livelihood and enhance gender equality. Feminist foreign policy is based on the conviction that gender equity and equal participation are preconditions for long-term peace and security. It recognises that not all social groups around the world have the same access to political participation, opportunities and resources. It strives to dismantle the obstacles responsible for this discrepancy, such as power structures that disadvantage certain groups.
Feminist foreign policy is inclusive policy.
