Is feminist foreign policy a policy made by women for women only? No, quite the contrary: It is about including all voices of society, because everyone is affected by decisions of foreign and security policy.

But what are the concrete aims of such a policy? How do other countries perceive German feminist foreign policy? What limitations and which strengths does feminist foreign policy reveal in times of crisis?

Nina Poppel discussed these questions with Niels Annen, MP and Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Helga Barth, Director for Human Rights and Global Health at the Federal Foreign Office, and UN-Women Advisor Karma Ekmekji.
