Our Senior Policy Advisor Spogmay Ahmed and Development and Communications Associate Jill Montilla join Jennie Wetter, Director and Host of “rePROs Fight Back,” to discuss the urgent need for a feminist foreign policy framework, findings from our recent publications and reflections from the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy in Paris.

In an era of global polarization and escalating crises, the promise of a feminist foreign policy has emerged as a beacon of progressive change. Yet, a troubling paradox lies at its heart: while political support holds steady, the financial backbone of the movement — women’s rights organizations — faces a “life-threatening” funding crisis. Read Collaborative staff and FFP experts Katie Whipkey, Spogmay Ahmed and Beth Woroniuk’s interview with Rameen Siddiqui, Managing Editor at Modern Diplomacy.

“The stakes are high, but governments are gathering to publicly express their support for women's rights — a much-needed effort in this time of intense rollback,” writes our Senior Policy Advisor Spogmay Ahmed for the Foundation for European Progressive Studies’ The Progressive Post. Read her op-ed wherein she reviews recommendations from our Defining Feminist Foreign Policy 2025 report and shares her hopes for the future of feminist foreign policy.

In her latest for Foreign Policy, our CEO Lyric Thompson draws on trends and analysis from our Defining Feminist Foreign Policy 2025 paper to explore how high-profile setbacks have overshadowed progress on gender equality around the world.

The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development was a significant moment aimed at mobilizing global resources for development. Given governments’ coordinated opposition to gender equality financing in this process, ensuring robust attention was always an uphill struggle. Eyes were on Canada to see if they would play a meaningful role in mobilizing support and resources. How did they deliver? Our Senior Fellow Beth Woroniuk weighs in.

The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development this June presents a critical test as negotiations reveal a disturbing trend: The weakening of gender equality commitments in the face of growing opposition. Read analysis from our Senior Fellow Beth Woroniuk in Devex.

Our Senior Fellow, Beth Woroniuk, joins Girls’ Globe’s Julia Wiklander for an episode of the Hey Changemaker! podcast. Beth shares how she’s seeing the current state of the global movement for feminist financing and feminist foreign policies, along with her advice for young feminists moving into the advocacy space today.

“The hope that I have for feminist foreign policy is that the diversification and growth of this cohort could be what we need to break up some of the regional blocks that have constrained progress.” Our Founder and CEO Lyric Thompson discusses feminist foreign policy with The Public Diplomacy Council of America.
