What influences the announcement and design of a feminist foreign policy? How “efficient” and “important” is the use of the word “feminism” in this field?

April 25, 2022132. Clare Hutchinson on WPS Implementation and Ukraine/Russia Conflict
Is the international community response to recent violent conflicts delegitimizing women's agency and reproducing unequal gender relations in times of war and peace? If so or if not, why? In the first few weeks of the Ukraine/Russia conflict, why is the WPS agenda not being taken seriously? What can we learn about the status and efficiency of the UN resolutions and international law protocols in the international conflicts of today? How does NATO and other international institutions view WPS?
How can our feminist values and human rights principles weather the storms of domestic and international crises? As we see many "red lines crossed" in different parts of the world, have we reached the time to question the value of humanity as a whole?
An interview with Clare Hutchinson, WPS Adviser, former NATO Secretary General's Special Representative for Women, Peace and Security and current vice president of consultancy agency TOLMEC.
