August 2024 IPI Head of WPS Phoebe Donnelly Delivers Remarks at the Third Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy in Mexico City Through a partnership with the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Phoebe Donnelly, Head of Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) at the International Peace Institute (IPI), spoke at the Third Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy in Mexico City on July 2, 2024, t. [...] I want to address three key points about the potential of feminist foreign policies to transform our multilateral system through (1) coalitions among member states promoting feminist principles, (2) partnerships between member states and civil society organizations, and (3) mainstreaming feminist foreign policy inside governments. [...] As we approach the Summit of the Future, I see the growth of feminist foreign policies and the promotion of feminist principles as tools to transform the multilateral system. [...] We can already see this happening in the “Feminist Foreign Policy Plus Group” where 18 UN member states with feminist foreign policies, or interest in feminist foreign policies, meet regularly. [...] After so much progress in the almost 25 years since the launch of the WPS agenda and the rise of member states with feminist foreign policies, it is almost unconceivable that this blatant violation of the principles of the WPS agenda occurred.
