"The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is honoured to invite you to a high-level conference on feminist development policy as a response to multiple global crises."
"Women and girls in all their diversity are key agents of change for socially, economically, and ecologically sustainable development and lasting peace. Yet, no country in the world has achieved gender equality. In order to accelerate progress, Germany, under Minister Schulze’s lead, has adopted a feminist development policy. At the event, Minister Schulze will discuss important features of Germany’s new feminist approach to development cooperation with high-ranking participants as well as practitioners from civil society and international organizations. The main objective of the event is to receive further input and have an exchange on best practices, approaches, and core elements of a feminist development policy. Moreover, peacebuilders and activists from the Middle East / North Africa region will illustrate the crucial role women play in peace and dialogue processes and share their expectations of a feminist development policy. The programme will be rounded off by creative and activist input on our feminist future. The event is linked to an extensive consultation process with civil society, academia, multilateral organisations, and other actors relevant for the new German feminist development policy strategy and envisaged gender action plan."
The conference language will be German/English with French, Arabic and International Sign interpretation as well as live closed captioning in English.
