At this panel, we aim to bring together feminist leaders in the foreign and development sector, especially from the CSO and government sector, from both sides of the Atlantic for a thought-provoking conversation on how to put feminist policy principles into practice. While this is a German-American conference and panel, the conversation will be led by an activist from the Global South to reflect the decolonial approach of feminist policy-making – nothing about them without them. Unfortunately, feminist foreign and development policies are often portrayed as “women’s issues/topics”. This is why it’s important to us to also have male representatives (from the ONE Campaign, the first German NGO to explicitly work on feminist development policy) on the panel to highlight that feminist policies serve all of us.

With Stephan Exo-Kreischer and Amb. (retired) Piper Campbell, moderated by Sanam Naraghi Anderlini
