FEMINIST FOREIGN POLICY

Feminist Foreign Policy prioritises the participation and rights of women and other marginalised groups such as migrants*, LGBTIQ, indigenous peoples or socially vulnerable groups that have traditionally been neglected in foreign and security policy. It is both a critical approach that helps us to unravel persistent inequalities in society and political practice, and a concept that offers concrete actions to improve the lives of all people on our planet.

On this page we present various texts, interviews, podcasts and videos that address feminist foreign policy and related topics.

Practicing Feminist Foreign Policy in the Everyday: A Toolkit

Explainer

Feminist foreign policy is emerging as a new paradigm in international relations. The concept raises expectations of a more peaceful and just foreign policy, but its theoretical dimension and practical implementation are often not clearly defined. This toolkit tries to close this gap and clarify key terms of feminist foreign policy, as well as outline the practical application of the feminist approach to international diplomacy, to security, environmental, development, trade and migration policy.

Feministická zahraniční politika Všechny díly podcastu

V rozhovoru se zakladatelkou Centre for Feminist Foreign policy Kristinou Lunz zjišťuje Zuzana Lizcová, co se skrývá pod pojmem feministická zahraniční politika, čím se liší od té "tradiční", jaká témata vnímá jako důležitá, nebo proč se nazývá feministická a ne humanistická zahraniční politika.

Výskumníčka: V krajine s odporom k feminizmu sa ťažko hľadá politik, ktorý si agendu prisvojí.


Feministický prístup v zahraničnej politike dáva priestor na jej alternatívne vnímanie, keďže sa zameriava najmä na bezpečnosť tých najzraniteľnejších vo svetovom systéme, hovorí výskumníčka Kateřina Krulišová pro server Euractiv.sk, s ktorými Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung spolupracuje.
