The Feminist Foreign Policy Tracker

This tracker was inspired by an idea from Katie Whipkey, one of the participants in our Feminist Foreign Policy Course, as a way to keep track of countries that have adopted, declared an intention to adopt, or have adopted and since discarded a feminist foreign policy.

This page will be updated periodically as and when new information becomes available. Use the menu on the right to read up on each country context. A brief overview is followed by a link to an explanatory note on the individual feminist foreign policies.
