Feminist Foreign Policy in India: Challenges and Possibilities- Priyanka Bhide

'Adopting Feminist Foreign Policy could offer an opportunity for India to place some of its existing efforts in a wider strategy on gender mainstreaming with a stronger long-term impact. The FFP approach goes beyond the limited, often-binary, interpretation of the word “feminist”, to include a more intersectional ideology, with the aim of re-thinking traditional centres of power.'
