Gender und Internationale Politik

As part of our event series on Feminist Development Policy, organized by the programs Gender and International Politics and De_Constructing Development, our aim was to discuss the BMZ’s strategy on a feminist development policy from an Afghan postcolonial perspective. Together with Humaira Rasuli and Suraya Pakzad, we critically questioned whose voices are heard, who is visible and who dominates not only the strategy’s conception and the related public discourse but also development policy in Afghanistan in general.

As part of our Feminism(s) series we came together with Saumya Dadoo and Shailza Sharma to talk about feminism(s) in India. The aim of our teatime event has been to learn more about Indian feminism(s) and discuss ideas of feminism, feminist activism and challenges to women’s equality in modern-day India aiming at building and understanding of the Indian cultural context and strengthen knowledge about the state of gender equality in this diverse and heterogeneous subcontinent.
