Feminist foreign policy is an approach which places gender equality as the central goal of foreign policy, in recognition that gender equality is a predictor of peaceful and flourishing societies. There are now seven countries that have formally adopted feminist foreign policy including Sweden, France, Canada and Mexico.
What is the case for countries to adopt a feminist foreign policy? In both Australia and India there have been campaigns launched. What would it mean if they were successful?
