About the Event
This roundtable brings together diplomats, civil society leaders, and foundations to explore the future of Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) and the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda in a rapidly changing geopolitical and digital landscape. Building on strategic foresight discussions convened by the Global Diplomacy Lab, the session will examine how feminist approaches to diplomacy can remain durable across political cycles, how global commitments can better support women peacebuilders on the ground, and how emerging technologies and digital governance frameworks can embed principles of inclusion, safety, and justice. The dialogue will be held under Chatham House Rules to encourage open exchange.
