Spain – Feminist Foreign Policy / Política Exterior Feminista

Promoting Gender Equality in Spain’s External Action

By announcing an explicit commitment to implementing a feminist foreign policy, Spain joins the countries that have placed gender equality and empowerment of women and girls at the centre of their foreign policy.

The decision to move towards a feminist foreign policy stems from the analysis of the current situation, Spain’s already existing leadership at the highest level in this area, and from a strong political commitment based on the vision of achieving the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations (UN) and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The prevalence of inequalities between women and men underscores the need to step up efforts to close gender gaps. In this context, Spain’s foreign policy will contribute to moving towards real and effective equality at the international level.
