As this movement has grown, an expanding global network of governments and civil society are coming together to support its meaningful implementation.

This official Generation Equality Forum side event will feature speakers from the governments of Mexico, Sweden, and Libya; the Equality Fund; and the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), who will discuss the core elements of feminist foreign policy, share lessons learned, and announce new, transformative commitments, including the launch of the Global Partner Network for Feminist Foreign Policy, where feminists inside and outside of government will collaborate to understand, refine, and advance the core elements of feminist foreign policy.
