Feminism and War: Solidarity despite war (3/4)

Listen Later

Transnational feminist solidarities are currently under pressure. The growing anti-gender movement is restricting feminist work and queer rights. Additionally, differing – and in some cases irreconcilable – views on the war in Gaza are creating further divisions. In both cases, the pressure also has a financial dimension: feminist actors who publicly express criticism risk losing funding.

This episode of the series »Feminism and War« focuses on the growing disillusionment with the promise of a feminist German foreign policy. It also explores new civil society alliances that could complement existing ones.
