Building a Feminist World: Exploring the Power of Feminist Policies
July 19, 2023 (Kigali, Rwanda) | What will it really take to change our global system? What do systemic alternatives rooted in human rights and centering justice look like? How are feminist foreign policies attempting to tackle some of these issues, or how should they? This session will explore a new global order and challenge existing paradigms so that we may re-imagine what a feminist future can look like. Policy makers, activists, artists, and thought leaders will engage in conversations around issues of taxation, debt and development finance, migration, a caring economy and understanding the enduring impacts of colonization.
Moderated by the Feminist Foreign Policy Collaborative's founder & CEO Lyric Thompson, this Plenary on Feminist Policies was one of 11 which chosen to take center stage at the 2023 Women Deliver Conference in Kigali, Rwanda. Panelists:
Delphine O, Ambassador and Secretary General for the Generation Equality Forum, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Aya Chebbi, Founder of the Nala Feminist Collective
Memory Kachambwa, Executive Director & CEO of FEMNET-African Women's Development and Communication Network
Natalie Hutchins, Minister for Women of the Victorian Government, Australia
