FEMINIST FOREIGN POLICY

About:

• Its goals include the promotion of economic emancipation, fighting sexual violence and improving women's political participation.
  
  
• The manual is derived from four years of work to place gender equality at the core of the country's international agenda.
  
  
• Projects cited in the manual include Sweden’s efforts towards promoting women rights in five war-torn and post-conflict nations -- Afghanistan, Colombia, Congo, Liberia and Palestine.
