Executive Director Footage Foundation | Applied Social Scientist & Feminist Researcher

Today is International Day of Women in Diplomacy. At the organization I co-founded and serve: Footage we are highlighting the impact of our inclusive, compassionate, and dialogue-based approach to diplomacy, fostered through our public diplomacy partnerships with various embassies under the U.S. Department of State. Our 10 public diplomacy awards have empowered us to champion gender equity and address critical issues such as forced displacement and gender-based violence across Eurasia, through our evidence-based feminist research interventions. What is diplomacy to us? It is dialogue-based. Our diplomacy goes beyond borders and bureaucratic tables—it happens in every interaction, every community dialogue, driven by the stories we share and the voices we elevate. Today, we celebrate the women and gender-expansive folks, in all their diversity, who are redefining diplomacy—one compassionate conversation at a time. #WomenInDiplomacy #InclusiveDialogue #FootageForChange #diplomacy #leaders #genderparity #equity #feministresearch #dialogue

Thank you, Kristen. The work of Footage is indeed crucial at this critical political moment. We are all well aware of the importance of a gender-sensitive perspective in diplomacy, and Footage's contributions in this regard are truly invaluable.
