Who we are

The Australian Feminist Foreign Policy Coalition (AFFPC) is a network of more than 200 individuals and organisations committed to advancing intersectional feminist foreign policy approaches in Australia.

It is convened by the International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) and includes supporters of feminist foreign policy working across diplomacy, defence, peacebuilding, women’s rights, international development and other sectors.

Feminist foreign policy is a framework to understand and transform the global systems of power which uphold and perpetuate inequality – including patriarchy, colonialism, capitalism, racism and others – in order to create peaceful and flourishing societies.

Listen to our podcast!

IWDA is proud to present F! It! – a podcast bringing feminist and First Nations approaches to the forefront of foreign policy conversations.

Hosted by Gumbaynggirr/Dunghutti woman, Julie Ballangarry, F! It! explores the perspectives of the world’s foremost First Nations thinkers and feisty feminists. Their voices have been excluded from foreign policy conversations for far too long.
