A Feminist Foreign Policy for Australia: Joint submission to the 2020 Review of Australia’s International Development Cooperation Policy

Co-authors: ActionAid Australia, CARE Australia, International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA), Oxfam Australia, Plan International Australia

This joint submission from five leading gender equality focused Australian NGOs makes the case that Australia should adopt a feminist approach to all areas of its foreign policy, including international development. While the current review is focused on Australia’s international development cooperation policy, the recommendations speak to the broader foreign policy landscape, and argue that a feminist approach would support the achievement of Australia’s goal of a peaceful and flourishing region.
