Mädchen vor Streetart zu Feministischer Außenpolitik

Feminist Foreign Policy

It is high time to view security not in a military context, but in a humane one: Women’s rights need to be strengthened, and women need to be recognized as shapers of peace and security policy. With this dossier we would like to show the way forward towards a Feminist Foreign Policy.
