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.”

Convened by Network 20/20, this expert panel brought together Dr. Jennifer Cassidy, Editor of the book “Gender and Diplomacy” (Routledge 2017), lecturer in International Relations at the University of Oxford, diplomatic consultant and international development expert and Spogmay Ahmed, Senior Policy Advisor of the Feminist Foreign Policy Collaborative to address what a feminist foreign policy is, what separates it from a non-feminist foreign policy, why it is relevant now and how to execute it.
