2023Feminist Foreign Policy in the United States: An Agenda for Action

These governments are working together at the United Nations to advance a multilateral agenda on gender equality and human rights, signaling the highest level of ambition for these issues. The absence of the United States in this cohort is increasingly conspicuous, and the remaining months of the Biden-Harris Administration present a clear opportunity to step up global efforts and leadership on this agenda.
