The Promise and Pitfalls of a Feminist Foreign Policy
About the Event
Recently, several higher profile women have spoken of integrating a feminist foreign policy into their leadership, including Annalena Baerbock, Germany’s foreign minister. According to the International Center for Research on Women, feminist foreign policy “prioritizes peace, gender equality, and environmental integrity, enshrines the human rights of all, seeks to disrupt colonial, racist, patriarchal and male-dominated power structures; and allocates significant resources, including research, to achieve that vision.”
