Her work underscores that, in times of despair and inequality, hope can become a tool to create space for care, community and solidarity, especially among women.
We are blessed that artist, psychologist and dear friend Dr Nimmi Hutnik joined us with her beautiful and powerful painting "BAME Sisters: The Gender Paygap".
We poured these reflections into a piece with the PRIF Peace Research Institute Frankfurt blog series.

Mobilising hope for the Women, Peace & Security Agenda & its 25th anniversary - over coffee and Idli, Diksha Poddar & I discussed how we could link hope as a feminist concept to the agenda's future.
📣 What does hope mean in the contemporary world? 🕊️
On #PRIFblog, Diksha Poddar and Madita Standtke-Erdmann argue: It is a powerful, feminist tool and anchor for the irrevocable belief in achieving social justice and security - which can help us to re-imagine the future of the UN's #WPS-Agenda ⬇️

In Berlin, an exhibition of the paintings of Lovis Corinth – deemed ‘degenerate’ by the Nazis – makes for a gripping show about why the work is where it is and whose hands it has passed through on the way, writes Matthew Sperling
Happy b’day, “American Idiot” — released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War.
“The country had gone into a war based on lies,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, “and no one seemed to care. .. It was a song that came from a very honest, pissed-off place.”
Research article "Claiming Historical Responsibility? The Persistence of Coloniality in German Feminist Foreign Policy" by Karoline Färber & Madita Standke-Erdmann. Abstract begins: Recently, former colonial powers in the Global North have begun addressing their colonial pasts through their foreign policies. Some of these states pursue a feminist foreign policy (FFP). However, to date, only one FFP makes explicit mention of colonial legacies: that of Germany, adopted in 2021. How does German FFP discourse address this and what political work does this do? Contributing to critiques of coloniality in FFP, we analyze the discursive representation of Germany’s colonial past in foreign policy texts since 2021. Drawing on the socio-critical concepts theater of reconciliation by Max Czollek and remembrance superiority by Mohamed Amjahid, we find that the discourse powerfully establishes gendered notions of caring, responsible, and reflexive German statehood.

For our upcoming issue on #feministforeignpolicy, @karolinefaerber.bsky.social & @erdfraeuleinma.bsky.social analyze how Germany 🇩🇪 represents, negotiates and reproduces its colonial past in their FFP.

Zitat aus dem Artikel von Günter Frankenberg: "Der Bundestag ist nicht die Schweiz, 'Neutralität' ist nicht neutral."
Julia Klöckner ist als Bundestagspräsidentin bemerkenswert um "Neutralität" besorgt. Jetzt will sie Anstecker verbieten. Doch was heißt "Neutralität" hier eigentlich?
GÜNTER FRANKENBERG macht sich auf die Suche nach einem parlamentarischen Neutralitätsbegriff.
