Feminist diplomacy

Feminist diplomacy, or feminist foreign policy, was a concept introduced by the former Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margot Wallström, in 2014. Feminist diplomacy is a segment of development aid, where financing can promote, through diplomatic relations, ideals and good practices to achieve gender equality. Objectives of feminist foreign policy include fighting against sexual violence, economic emancipation of women, and education of women and girls, and that of men and boys. Moreover, it also focuses on women in leadership and strives to involve women in politics and decision-making, and to involve women in peace negotiations and treaties.
