Panelists during the panel discussion “What Does a Feminist Foreign Policy Look Like?”
BGIA director and Foreign Policy Interrupted CEO Elmira Bayrasli spoke at a virtual event hosted by Zócalo and Scripps College about what feminist foreign policy can do for the world. “‘Women always have to prove something is going to work when meanwhile there’s abundant evidence of things that aren’t working’ in today’s world, Bayrasli said: democracy declining, strongmen on the rise, tensions simmering, and a pandemic killing millions. ‘Clearly there needs to be a reassessment to how we’re approaching foreign policy now.’ Feminist foreign policy could be a possible solution to the challenges of today, because, she said, it offers ‘a modern lens to the modern world.’”
