Workshop series Feminist Foreign Policy

In a time of uncertainty and multiple crises, the need for innovative responses to current challenges is becoming increasingly important. The global world order shows that the existing instruments and measures of states and multilateral organizations are no longer adequate. Feminist foreign policy is a new approach. It is a peace policy that focuses on gender equality and marginalized groups.
In recent years, numerous states have decided to shape their foreign policy in a feminist way. Their concepts differ and in some cases set different priorities.

The workshop series aims to shed light on the main features of a feminist foreign policy and show how a foreign policy should be designed in all its sub-areas - security policy, asylum and migration policy, climate policy, economic and trade policy and development policy - in order to meet the claim of being feminist.

The aim is to develop demands that can serve as a basis for civil society interventions with regard to shaping a feminist foreign and development policy for Austria.
