– Meet our Walkie-Talkies: Champions of Feminist Foreign Policy

Walking the Talk consortium is proud to present our team of ‘walkie-talkies’, aka six exceptional feminist from all over the world. These experts bring unique perspectives and invaluable experience to our mission of promoting Feminist Foreign Policies (FFPs) and gender equality in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the European Union.

Our Walkie-Talkies are feminists with expertise and lived experiences in gender equality policies and practices. They come from diverse backgrounds and regions, bringing intersectional perspectives on issues such as climate justice funding, SRHR, gender-based violence, and feminist technology. They are committed to sharing lessons, driving positive change, and actively participating in strategic activities within the consortium.

The Walkie-Talkie Accountability Mechanism

The support of Kirthi, Chido, Jara… strengthens our program’s quality and enhances the visibility of our advocacy. They have two key roles :

Internal: Shaping our research and advocacy strategy by identifying topics, strengthening messaging, and sharing intelligence on FFP and intersectional gender equality.

External: Amplifying our messages and providing a reality check on policy implementation versus ground realities, helping us build and apply collective power and intelligence.
