SUMMARY:Women's Resilience in Shaping Feminist Foreign Policy - CFFP x Háwar.help
DESCRIPTION:The primary goal of this event at UNGA 2023 is to shed light on the critical role played by Women Human Rights Defenders in shaping Feminist Foreign Policies around the world.

By featuring distinguished speakers like Luise Amtsberg\, the German Commissioner for Human Rights\, and Elizabeth Taylor Jay\, Colombia’s Minister in charge of Feminist Foreign Policy\, this event seeks to deepen the understanding of the challenges faced by women human rights defenders and underscore the significance of incorporating their recommendations into global Feminist Foreign Policy agendas. \nFurthermore\, this event will spotlight remarkable women human rights defenders from diverse backgrounds\, including Afghan\, and Yezidi activists\, to generate progressive recommendations for Feminist Foreign Policies. Speakers such as Düzen Tekkal\, a renowned filmmaker\, war correspondent\, and Founder of HÁWAR.help\, and Habiba Sarabi\, a Former Republic Negotiator and Former Governor in Afghanistan\, will share their experiences and insights.

SUMMARY:The Future of Nuclear Disarmament: Is Global Zero Still Possible?
DESCRIPTION:Amidst Russia’s war in Ukraine and the willingness of governments to increase military spending also for their nuclear arsenals\, discussions around nuclear weapons as security guarantors are gaining momentum: Since the beginning of the war\, for the first time\, a majority of Germans is in favor of US nuclear weapons stationed in Germany. The movie Oppenheimer\, telling the story of the “father of the atomic bomb”\, is already considered as one of the most successful movies covering the Second World War – and it does not cover the humanitarian and ecological consequences of survivors of the use or testing of nuclear weapons. In mid-August\, the first session of the Preparatory Committee Meeting for the 2026 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) came to an end – with State Parties even struggling to agree on a summary of what was discussed. With public support of nuclear weapons increasing and governments unwilling to discuss nuclear disarmament\, the idea of Global Zero seems further away than in a long time. \nAt the same time\, survivors of the use or testing of nuclear weapons and activists committed to nuclear disarmament are unwilling to give up – and are looking for new opportunities to advance international nuclear disarmament. One avenue clearly represents Feminist Foreign Policy\, a concept which more and more states are committing. Shifting the focus from state security to the security of the most marginalized communities and individuals\, the concept calls for the focus on the humanitarian and ecological consequences of nuclear weapons. For example\, in March 2023\, the German Federal Foreign Office introduced its Feminist Foreign Policy Guidelines which among many topics covers the commitment to “support efforts to recognise and compensate the victims of nuclear tests” advocating for a safe world without nuclear weapons. \nAgainst this background\, and ahead of the Second State Meeting of State Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons\, the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy and the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation are organising the public discussion on The Future of Nuclear Disarmament: Is Global Zero Still Possible?\, which aims to foster a conversation about the need and opportunities for nuclear disarmament during a period of increased nuclear war risk\, primarily stemming from the conflict initiated by Russia\, a nuclear-armed nation\, which has persistently conveyed threats of nuclear weapon use. Further\, the event will centre the humanitarian and ecological consequences of nuclear weapons and discuss potential new avenues to nuclear disarmament\, including the concept of Feminist Foreign Policy. The event will bring together researchers on the humanitarian and ecological consequences of nuclear weapons\, survivors\, and German policy decision-makers. \nRegistration link here

SUMMARY:From theory to action: the climate crisis from a Feminist Foreign Policy angle
DESCRIPTION:Watch the event here\n \n  \nA note on feminism\, Feminist Foreign Policy and the Climate Crisis \nAs with every crisis\, it is the most marginalised people whose livelihood and security is threatened most severely by the climate crisis. Furthermore\, the gendered dimensions of the crisis are often ignored or downplayed. Increasingly at most conferences and climate actions\, people highlight the importance of gender inclusivity and the importance and value of women experts – however there is only very little progress. Can Feminist Foreign Policy\, as adopted and implemented by the German\, Mexican\, and many other governments and promoted by feminist civil society\, be a driver for change? \nA Feminist Foreign Policy acknowledges that tackling the climate crisis and achieving climate justice are deeply connected to pathways to feminist peace. The same systems that oppress women and other marginalised groups are the very systems that destroy our planet. For FFP advocates it has always been clear: We need policy solutions that are intersectional\, justice-focused\, and human-centred. The concept of Feminist Foreign Policy is here to offer exactly that. \nCOP27 brought forth important decisions and steps with regard to loss and damage. But it is safe to say that the conference was a huge disappointment when it came to the gender negotiations\, which almost completely failed during the conference (from a civil society perspective). Thus\, the hopes but also the stakes are high for this year’s conference in Dubai. \nTo create momentum for feminist demands and gender equity at COP28\, the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP) and the Federal Foreign Office\, together with other partners\, will host a high-level\, critical\, and feminist event focusing on the connection between Feminist Foreign Policy and the climate crisis\, bringing together the voices of various feminists from all over the world. The event will shed light on the need for critical gender negotiations but also the implementation of a gender lens in all areas discussed at COP\, and be a starting point to forge alliances among committed Feminist Foreign Policy enthusiasts to unite around gender equity at COP28. \nSpeakers  \n\nJennifer Morgan\nState Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action\, German Federal Foreign Office\nAyshka Najib\nClimate justice activist from UAE\nNesmah Mansoor\nCommunications and Advocacy Officer / Focal Point for Feminist Climate Justice\, Peace Track Initiative\nSheena Anderson\nProgramme Manager\, Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP)\n\nAdditional speaker tbc: \n\nKatie Gallus\nInternational Moderator & Geographer\n\n  \nEvent Hosts: The Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP) & the Federal Foreign Office of Germany  \nDate & Time: 1 December 2023\, 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. (UTC+4) \nVenue: German Pavilion in Zone A of the Blue Zone (Building OA02 | Pavilion Number OA02G1) \n

SUMMARY:Resilient Voices: Defending Women’s Rights against Pushback
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, there has been an alarming global rise in attacks on women’s rights. Across various regions\, illiberal and authoritarian movements have increasingly targeted women’s autonomy\, using it as a battleground for political gain. This pushback comes in various forms\, including restrictions on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)\, on citizen’s rights including democratic participation and on economic rights\, aiming to maintain traditional gender roles. Such trends are not only threatening individual freedoms and eroding the progress made in gender equality and public health\, they also threaten diverse and pluralistic societies and the stability of democracies in general. This global pushback against women’s rights is further compounded by intersecting crises\, including the COVID-19 pandemic\, armed conflicts\, and economic instability\, which have disproportionately impacted women and marginalized groups. In this context\, defending and advancing women’s rights is not just a health or gender issue — it is a fight for human rights\, democracy\, and social justice. This side event aims to address these challenges head-on\, advocating for a feminist foreign policy approach that prioritizes the protection and promotion of women’s rights worldwide. \n\n\n\n\n💬 Discussion & Exchange: This event will give activists from various regions and backgrounds room to share their experiences in combating the increasing pushback against women’s rights. It aims to spotlight the crucial role of civil society movements in addressing and curbing this pushback and raise awareness of the escalating attacks on women’s rights. The event will foster a deeper understanding of these challenges and mobilize international support for feminist foreign policy approaches. It will serve as a platform for connecting and networking among policymakers\, activists\, and experts\, enabling the exchange of best practices and strategies. \nOur discussion will feature insights from high-profile panellists\, including leading experts in human rights\, gender policy\, and international development. \n\n\nModerator: \n\nAnnalena Baerbock\, German Foreign Minister\nSpeakers: \n\nDüzen Tekkal\, Co-Founder/CEO HAWÁR.help\nKristina Lunz\, Co-Founder/CEO Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy\nDr. Stellah Bosire\, Medical Doctor\, Lawyer\, Researcher\, Global Health Practitioner & Founder of the Africa Center for Health Systems and Gender Justice\nNika Kovač\, Founding Director\, Institute 8 March Coordinator\, Campaign My Voice\, My choice\nMarie-Simone Kadurira\, Research and Communications Consultant at The Accelerator for GBV Prevention\, Founder of Vasikana Vedu\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by: Permanent Mission of Germany to the UN\, HAWÁR.help and the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy. \n📍The event will take place in the Auditorium of the Permanent Mission of the Federal Republic of Germany to the United Nation \nDon’t miss out on this important discussion about the future of women’s rights worldwide. \nPlease engage with us by using the hashtag #defendwomensrights #defendSRHR and #FeministForeignPolicy\, as well as by tagging the co-hosts. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Femizide verhindern. Abtreibungen legalisieren.
DESCRIPTION:Jetzt ist die Zeit zu handeln! Schließe dich uns an und setze ein starkes Zeichen für Frauenrechte! ✊ \nJeden zweiten Tag wird in Deutschland eine Frau von einem (Ex-)Partner getötet\, die männliche Gewalt gegen Frauen nimmt zu\, und die Verurteilungsraten bleiben erschreckend niedrig. Der Zugang zu sicheren und legalen Abtreibungen ist aufgrund der Kriminalisierung von Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen in Paragraf 218 StGB weiterhin nicht möglich und die Versorgungslage wird immer schlechter. Wir fordern endlich unsere Rechte ein: auf Sicherheit und Selbstbestimmung. \nWir erleben außerdem\, dass die Räume für Frauen\, sich öffentlich zu äußern\, immer enger werden. Der Frauenhass im Netz\, der auch Auswirkungen auf die Bewegungsfreiheit im analogen Raum für Frauen hat\, nimmt ein besorgniserregendes Ausmaß an. Immer mehr Frauen wagen es nicht mehr\, sich zu politischen oder gesellschaftlichen Themen zu äußern – aus Angst zur Zielscheibe von Männern zu werden\, die nicht etwa ein Problem mit ihren Positionen haben\, sondern es nicht ertragen\, dass Frauen eine Stimme haben und mitbestimmen wollen. Die Organisator:innen erleben diese Form des Frauenhasses selbst tagtäglich. Wir sagen: Genug! Jetzt ist die Zeit\, sich zu vernetzen und aufzustehen! \nAngesichts des zunehmenden Rechtsrucks in Deutschland könnte dies für viele Jahre unsere letzte Chance sein\, wirkungsvolle Maßnahmen für mehr Schutz und Sicherheit durchzusetzen. Die „Fortschritts-Koalition“ muss endlich ihren Versprechen nachkommen und im Sinne des Koalitionsvertrages Frauen besser schützen und unterstützen. Wir dürfen nicht länger zusehen\, wie (wir) Frauen getötet\, bedroht und in die Verzweiflung getrieben werden. \n🌍💪 Komm zu diesem besonderen Anlass zusammen mit anderen beeindruckenden und berühmten Frauen sowie Expertinnen\, um ein Zeichen für Frauenrechte zu setzen. \n📅 Wann? Montag\, 21. Oktober 2024\n🕒 Einlass: 10:30 Uhr (letzter Einlass: 11.30 Uhr) / Beginn: 11:55 Uhr\n📍 Wo? Fotografiska\, Berlin-Mitte \nOrganisiert von Düzen Tekkal und Kristina Lunz Policy mit ihren Teams bei HÁWAR.help und dem Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy sowie einem starken Bündnis\, u.a. Bestehend aus: FRAUEN100\, Deutscher Juristinnenbund\, Amnesty International Deutschland\, Deutscher Frauenrat\, Bündnis für sexuelle Selbstbestimmung und vielen vielen mehr.\n\nEine Auswahl der bereits bestätigten Sprecherinnen: \nAnnalena Baerbock\,\nDüzen Tekkal\, HÁWAR.help\nKristina Lunz\, Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy\nMareile Höppner\nRegina Halmich\nUrsula Karven\nNatalia Wörner\nSigrid Nikutta\nJagoda Marinić\nElena Carrière\nTara-Louise Wittwer\nVreni Frost\nCaroline Rosales\nJeannette Gusko\nIsa Sonnenfeld\nMaria Astor\nShila Behjat\nChristina Clemm\nAnastasia Barner\nLex Grassmann\nAnnika Kreitlow\nDilken Çelebi\nUvm. \n🎤🎵 Für das musikalische Rahmenprogramm sorgen Wilhelmine\, Mina Richman und DJ Filar\, die mit ihrer Musik inspirieren und motivieren.
