**Application Process**

**About us**:
The Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy is a human rights think tank dedicated to advocating for Feminist Foreign Policy. We challenge the conventional norms of international politics, particularly its emphasis on militarized state security, and instead promote foreign and security policies that prioritize the security of individuals and communities across all areas of foreign policy. Our primary objective is to address and eliminate power inequalities, which we view as the primary obstacle to achieving sustainable peace. No peace without feminism.
