2021Defining Feminist Foreign Policy: A 2021 Update
In this paper, we take a closer look at the world’s existing “feminist” approaches to foreign policy. Since the brief was originally produced in 2019, more nations have announced feminist foreign policies (bringing the total to seven: Sweden, Canada, France, Luxembourg, Mexico, Spain and Libya) and feminists have advanced an evermore ambitious and intersectional approach.

2019Defining Feminist Foreign Policy
Published in 2019, this paper represents the first effort to distill a working definition of feminist foreign policy. Based on global consultations and analysis of existing feminist foreign policies, which at the time of its writing was limited to Sweden, Canada and France, this paper sketches out the emerging scope and standards attributed to an explicitly feminist approach to foreign policy. The aim of which was to assist governments in strengthening and sustaining existing feminist foreign policies and to shape the second wave of emerging policies. The definition presented serves as a starting point for debate.
