Former Key Activities

For an antiracist and decolonial FFP

Discussions on race often overlook the historical and global factors that have shaped racial differences. Consequently, BIPoC and Global South experts in the field struggle against prevailing concepts and structures. Racism and colonialism receive minimal attention, if any, in foreign policy. While a Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) holds promise for addressing race, racism, and whiteness, governments with an FFP lack clear commitments to tackling colonial legacies and promoting anti-racist approaches.

They often lack the contacts and networks and face…read more

Refugee Legislation in South Africa: A Feminist Foreign Policy Analysis – Part 2

This is the second part of a two part series that utilises a feminist foreign policy (ffp) framing to analyse refugee policy in South Africa. Part 1 has previously outlined the ffp principles, migration legislation and discourse analysis to determine the extent of gender inclusivity in refugee law. Part 2 explores ideas of national security and sovereignty which dominate discussions about the asylum regime to provide a contextual understanding of the barriers to a gender sensitive refugee policy in South Africa.

Women Leaders in a Man’s World: Does a Feminist Foreign Policy Require a Woman Leader at the Top? – Part II

Women make the world a better place for other women. Or do they? Some maintain that a woman in the top job will mean a brighter future for fellow women. However, we cannot even accept at face value the assumption that women leaders are good for women. This two-part series explores the case of Julia Gillard, Australia’s first and thus far only female Prime Minister (from 2010-2013), regarding the issue of women’s rights in her domestic and foreign policy agenda. Vijeyarasa discusses.
