In recent years attacks on Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) - such as the Global Gag Rule and Poland’s abortion ban - have been growing on both sides of the Atlantic with the number of actors fighting to undo the international achievements for womens’ and sexual minority’s rights gaining further ground. Across the globe, states and NGOs are working to undermine the international women’s rights agenda: They lobby to alter the language in UN resolutions, advance alternative understanding of international treaties, delegitimize feminists and their work by advocating cultural realism and ‘traditional values’ and pull financial resources from education and health services that account for reproductive rights. How can existing national and international human rights legislation be protected? How can the strengthening of transatlantic relations and collaborations between Europe and the US support SRHR on both sides of the Atlantic? How can a Feminist Foreign Policy contribute to the protection and expansion of SRHR?
1014 and CFFP discussed these questions with Heather Boonstra, Vice President of Public Policy at the Guttmacher Institute; and Leah Hoctor, the Senior Regional Director for Europe at The Center for Reproductive Rights.
About this series:
CFFP x 1014: New Approaches to Foreign Policy - Feminist Foreign Policy and its Potential for Advancing Transatlantic Relations Series
Considering the ongoing security crises, the global pushback against human rights, and the climate emergency, the transatlantic partnership is more critical than ever. This series of conversations by CFFP and 1014 aims at increasing the dialogue between both sides of the Atlantic and fostering awareness about more sustainable approaches to foreign policy. It strives to discuss transatlantic priorities in the fields of security, sexual and reproductive rights, and climate justice from a Feminist Foreign Policy perspective.
