On December 1, 2025, a letter with over 250 signatories was delivered to Prime Minister Carney, urging him to take actions to safeguard feminist foreign policy commitments by Canada. Recent shifts in foreign policy threaten Canada’s leadership on gender equality, human rights, and multilateralism. The letter also highlights Canada as a world-leading expert on advocating against gender-based violence, embedding Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+), advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health Research, and supporting women human rights defenders, all strengths we should not abandon.
