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.

Our CEO Lyric Thompson joins Ravi Agrawal, Editor in Chief of Foreign Policy, for an episode of “FP Live” to discuss what good news for women’s rights and gender equality can be found beyond the headlines of high-profile setbacks.

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.

“[S]mall strategic windows give some hope to the work of FFP advocates, who say they will continue to seek new ways to keep their work going amid the mounting opposition,” writes PassBlue’s Maria Luisa Gambale, highlighting positive findings from our latest report, Defining Feminist Foreign Policy 2025, against a backdrop of rising anti-gender backlash and declining official development assistance.

“Despite the setbacks, Lyric and Spogmay’s work [at the Collaborative] reminds us that feminist foreign policy is no longer theoretical. It’s a growing movement grounded in community, courage, and connection,” writes author and podcast host Bonnie Marcus in her latest issue of her Substack Own Your Ambition.

Our Founder and CEO Lyric Thompson and Advisor Heather Hurburt join BBC World News Correspondent Megha Mohan in her latest reported piece on AI and its potential to aid or hinder gender equality.

“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.

Ahead of the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policies, our CEO Lyric Thompson joins France 24’s Annette Young for an episode of “The 51%” to discuss the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, feminist foreign policies and more.

The Feminist Foreign Policy Collaborative announced in the first plenary of the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy that, with the support of the Government of France, it will lead the design of a new accountability mechanism for the now-annual Ministerial Conference on 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.
