Description
This study examines Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) in the European Union (EU). It aims to define FFP and assess the EU's stance on it. Key findings include: There isn't a clear definition of FFP, but it generally involves including women and girls in foreign policy and empowering them in decision-making. Although some EU member states like Sweden and France have adopted feminist foreign policies, the EU itself seems unprepared for a comprehensive FFP. The current geopolitical climate poses challenges, but there is still room for progress. Adopting an FFP at the EU level could lead to a more peaceful world, ensuring equal rights and opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender, age, ability, race, or sexual orientation. This conclusion underscores the need for continued efforts toward gender equality within the EU and the potential benefits of a unified feminist approach to foreign policy.
