What does Sweden’s concept of feminist foreign policy imply and what can it teach governments and institutions? How can it further the global agenda of women, peace and security?

Zainab Salbi (@ZainabSalbi) is an author, women's rights activist, humanitarian, social entrepreneur and media commentator.

Margot Wallström (@margotwallstrom) is Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden.

Update: Please note that due to unforeseen circumstances, Margot Wallström will no longer be able to attend the event in person. She will appear via live videolink.

The Institute of Global Affairs (IGA) (@LSEIGA) creates a dedicated space for research, policy engagement and teaching across multiple disciplines to pioneer locally-rooted responses to global challenges.

The Centre for Women, Peace and Security (@LSE_WPS) is a leading academic space for scholars, practitioners, activists, policy-makers and students to develop strategies to promote justice, human rights and participation for women in conflict-affected situations around the world.
