This session explores why humanitarianism, specifically a feminist humanitarian approach, must be integrated into feminist foreign policy so that such critical opportunities are not missed. Members of the Feminist Humanitarian Network and representatives of donor governments will discuss how existing feminist foreign policies have been experienced by women-led and feminist organizations in the Global South, and how feminist principles and a feminist humanitarian approach can be better incorporated into the feminist foreign policy agenda.
