Guiding Principles of the Global Partner Network for Feminist Foreign Policy

The Global Partner Network for Feminist Foreign Policy embraces the following shared principles:

• We believe feminist foreign policies have the potential to build a more just, equitable, sustainable and peaceful world. All Core Partners, Members and Friends of the Network support feminist foreign policy and its core values, as outlined in our guiding global framework.

• We believe there is strength in diversity. The Global Partner Network welcomes participants from a range of backgrounds and experiences. We provide space for communities structurally excluded from foreign policy decision-making.

• We believe in the unifying, catalyzing power of open dialogue and mutual respect and learning, and that coming together in a spirit of curiosity and openness will strengthen the discussions and implementation of feminist foreign policy. The Global Partner Network fosters a hospitable community, where everyone brings a range of knowledge, perspective and experience. 

• We believe in actively contributing to the field of feminist foreign policy through a diversity of ideas and methods. This can include by developing or implementing feminist foreign policies, researching feminist proposals, engaging in feminist foreign policy advocacy, working on related programming, publishing relevant reports/blogs/communications materials or other activities.
