In an interconnected and constantly evolving world, the promotion and fulfilment of gender equality and women's rights is not only a matter of social justice within nation-states, but also an essential component of international relations and cooperation for the construction of lasting peace, global security and sustainable development. This idea has encouraged reflections on the orientation of traditional foreign action towards a Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) in some European, Latin American and Caribbean countries, which stems from the growing realisation that gender issues are not marginal in the field of international relations and foreign action.
The EU-LAC Foundation, through its International EU-LAC Women Network, as well as the Spanish Ministry of Equality, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, and the Diputació de Barcelona, being key actors to generate dialogue on issues of utmost relevance for the cooperation of LAC and EU countries, intend to develop a multi-stakeholder Forum to identify common challenges and opportunities in the field of feminist foreign policy.
The event also aims to make visible good practices, innovative actions, lessons learned and move towards concrete solutions to deliberate and help implement a contextualised Feminist Foreign Policy based on principles of intersectionality, anti-racism and regional equity in areas that require greater prominence in the foreign policy of EU and LAC countries.
The meeting will bring together representatives of the governments of the different countries of both regions, representatives of civil society, international organisations and experts from academia.
