WILPF is thrilled to announce the launch of the new Feminist Political Economy (FPE) Learning Series – a new learning resource available exclusively for members on WILPF’s membership portal, myWILPF.
With six modules being released between August and December, the series aims to strengthen members’ understanding of political economy, the importance of feminist analysis of political economy, and how to promote peace, freedom, and justice through feminist political economy.
Watch this short video introducing why WILPF thinks feminist political economy analysis is important:

Members can also join WILPF’s FPE WhatsApp group to keep the conversation going, ask questions, and connect with others interested in this topic. Email nela.porobic@wilpf.org to join the group.
Through these modules, we hope to shine a light on what might sound like an academic topic. But understanding feminist political economy is not an academic exercise – it is a necessity to promote WILPF’s concept of feminist peace.

“Formulating alternatives to current political economy, grounded in sound feminist political economy analysis, is not only about having great ideas that add women into the mix but about thinking about how to transform the current structures and create conditions for the achievement of feminist peace.”
