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.

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.

Retrieved: A Feminist Foreign Policy Podcast Series
With the help of policy advisors, journalists, researchers, and politicians, we examine how feminist foreign policy can reflect the interests of all genders and often overlooked stakeholders: from peace-building and climate, to migration and defence policy.
We look to examples from across the EU that show how this bold new model benefits society at large - and the challenges on the horizon. Can feminism retrieve a new foreign policy mantra out of the dusty ideas of the past?

"Hear Her Roar" - Talking Feminist Foreign Policy
A year ago, the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Washington D.C., brought together feminist fellows worldwide to delve into the concept of feminist foreign policy.
The ongoing discussions throughout 2024 have led to a mini-podcast series, "Her Her Roar," which explores the practical implications of feminist foreign policy. If you're curious about its impact on societies and a more holistic view of foreign policy, this podcast is for you.
