The INCLUSIVE FOREIGN AND SECURITY POLICY Program aims to promote gender-sensitive and inclusive paradigms in foreign policy and security. It integrates intersectional and inclusive perspectives into foreign and security policies to drive improvements in security outcomes while fostering sustainable peace, development, and prosperity.
The program focuses on two key areas: Feminist Foreign Policy and Gender, Peace, and Security. These reforms aim to enhance women’s meaningful participation in India’s security sector, peacekeeping forces, as well as Track 1.5 and Track II Dialogues.
Through policy-oriented research and discussion platforms, the program provides support to India’s foreign and security communities in the effective and meaningful mainstreaming of gender considerations. The Program designs interventions that foster consensus-building and inclusivity, bringing together a diverse array of stakeholders, including policymakers, civil society organizations, and international institutions.
