Walking the Talk

This document summarizes relevant emerging recommendations from the Financing for Feminist Futures (F4FF) Conference.

Walking the Talk commissioned 13 bold research projects to explore and offer tangible solutions to today’s financing challenges. These projects span more than 30 countries and reimagine how feminist work is funded, highlighting the feminist-led approaches that can help reshape global systems for equity and justice.

At FFD4 in Sevilla, Hivos co-hosted a dynamic side event on financing for gender equality, uniting global ministers, feminist leaders, and development partners. Despite underwhelming conference outcomes, the event showcased strong political will and collective action for advancing a feminist agenda in development financing. Read the full event readout here.

In this latest brief created in collaboration with Data2X and the Walking the Talk program, we highlight the critical role of gender data in the development, implementation, and success of feminist foreign policies (FFPs).
