Panel Session: Promoting a gender transformative recovery of Ukraine
Date: 31-10-2023Time: 09:30 - 11:00 hrsLocation: WO=MEN, Korte Poten 9B, The Hague
The Feminist Foreign Policy Community Festival will kick off at WO=MEN with a very interesting interactive panel discussion between the Ukraine Government Commissioner for Gender Policy and a number of outspoken Ukrainian women activists. They will discuss the need for a genuine gender lens in a post-war recovery strategy for Ukraine. There will be ample time for Q&A with the audience.
The session will discuss the currently planned Ukraine post-war recovery strategy and address the important need to include a local perspective as well as a gender/ intersectional perspective. This is in line with Ukraine’s strategy to localise the women, peace and security agenda and their regional National Action Plans 1325. We will explore how a feminist foreign policy can support such a strategy. Concrete recommendations will be formulated to inform Ukrainian and international stakeholders working on post-conflict recovery settings.
