Carney Ends Canada’s Feminist Foreign Policy

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a shift in Canada’s foreign policy, stating it no longer aligns with the “feminist foreign policy” previously championed by Justin Trudeau’s government. At the G-20 summit, Carney acknowledged that while gender equality remains a priority, it is not the sole focus of Canada’s international engagement. This marks a departure from Trudeau’s initiatives, such as the Feminist International Assistance Policy, which aimed to promote gender equality globally. Carney emphasized the need for justice regarding gender-based violence but indicated that economic ties with nations that limit rights for women and LGBTQ individuals would not be viewed through a feminist lens.
