About
The IMPRI Impact and Policy Research Institute, New Delhi, is proud to announce the official release of four landmark publications on the occasion of the International Day of Women in Diplomacy. These books emerge from the FFPF Feminist Foreign Policy Fellowship and represent a significant contribution to the evolving discourse on feminist diplomacy, intersectionality, and global justice.
Together, these publications capture the collective scholarship, lived experiences, and policy visions of fellows, scholars, and practitioners who engaged deeply with feminist foreign policy over the course of the fellowship. The books reflect on key issues such as representation, peacebuilding, digital diplomacy, and the decolonization of international relations, especially through the lens of the Global South.
This event celebrates the voices and insights of a new generation of changemakers committed to reimagining diplomacy as more inclusive, intersectional, and equity-driven. Join us as we commemorate this milestone and advance the conversation on feminist leadership in foreign policy.
