Feminist foreign policy is gaining momentum around the world. But what makes a foreign policy 'feminist'? And why is it important to re-evaluate defence and security policies through a decidedly feminist lens ?
In this episode, I put these and other questions to Nina Bernarding, Director at the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy, and Shada Islam, Senior Advisor on Asia and Africa to the EPC and well-known commentator in Brussels on EU affairs.
We also talked about intersectionality, the need for broader inclusion in foreign policy, what an EU feminist foreign policy could and should look like and our shared admiration for New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
