"Spain's Feminist Foreign Policy: Promoting Gender Equality in Spain's External Action" is prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain, and presented by the President of the Government of Spain, Mr. Pedro Sånchez, on March 10.

One of the main goals of this Feminist Foreign Policy is to give greater weight to gender issues on the agenda of different International Organizations, be it through improving collaboration with other countries in this area, supporting candidates who promote this priority, or ensuring that a gender approach is integrated into planification of activities. 

As leaders in our personal capacities, we strongly condemn targeted attacks against women and girls, and male allies in Afghanistan.  We stand firmly against gender-based violence in all its forms. “Gender Champions who wish to show their support and add their name to the statement above are welcome to email: admin@genderchampions.com”
