SUMMARY:What’s Feminist about Germany’s Feminist Foreign Policy?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On March 1\, the German Federal Foreign Office released its framework for a Feminist Foreign Policy. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Economic Cooperation and Development Minister Svenja Schulze gave a joint statement saying that more equal societies suffer less from hunger and poverty and are\, therefore\, more stable. The new guidelines state that Germany will lobby to ensure that basic human rights such as access to food\, healthcare\, education\, and security are more in focus globally\, that women are better represented\, and that Germany’s development funds are allocated to more projects that tackle gender inequality. \nComing from Germany\, this framework gives fresh momentum to the feminist foreign policy movement\, which was pioneered by a leftist Swedish government in 2014. But\, what does a Feminist Foreign Policy actually mean? How can it be implemented? And\, how does it differ from a values-oriented foreign policy? What does it look like in practice when addressing the war in Ukraine or the situation in Iran? \nTo address these questions\, join us on International Women’s Day for a virtual discussion with Barbara Mittelhammer. She is is a Berlin-based independent consultant and political analyst who focuses on feminist foreign policy\, human security\, as well as gender in peace and security.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F2916777056093%2FWN_f-W2Ed9DQ7-WqYSOIFYS7Q” css=”.vc_custom_1677705638860{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Barbara Mittelhammer is an independent\, Berlin-based political analyst and consultant.
