Feminist foreign policy was the decision of the left-leaning government. Sweden became the first country in the world to formulate such a policy.
The government’s pro-women stance has received much attention and appreciation at the international level. The foreign minister announced the policy change after Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristerson unveiled new appointments in his government. Gender equality is one of Sweden’s and this government’s core values, but we will not implement a feminist foreign policy. Because the idea is more important than the name, Tobias Billström said on Tuesday.
The government’s online page detailing Feminist Foreign Policy also became unavailable after the announcement. The previous government announced this policy emphasizing the importance of rights, representation and resources. Rights to political participation, economic emancipation, and sexual and reproductive rights were important issues in feminist foreign policy.
This policy was discussed all over the world. Sweden’s foreign policy changed after the minority coalition government came to power. The Social Democrats won the majority of the vote, but Ulf Kristerson formed a coalition government. With alliances with smaller parties, the Left had three seats less than the Right.
