About the Event
This official concurrent session of the 4th Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policies held in Paris, France (October 22-23, 2025) explored where government and civil society are successfully working together, where they are falling short and what concrete lessons and suggestions we can take to make feminist foreign policy a more collaborative endeavor, both responsive to community needs and advancing in policy spaces. Discussions explored three case studies of government and civil society collaboration to develop and implement feminist foreign policy, provided an overview of how it has manifested during the three previous ministerial conferences and incorporated innovative and interactive methodologies to encourage audience engagement and learning.
