Heinrich Boell Foundation – GLOW Feminist Institute (FI)

Conceived as a bridge; the Heinrich Boell Foundation GLOW Feminist Institute acts as a mediator between feminist theory and feminism in practice. The FI evaluates women’s experiences and knowledge, debates these publicly, and finally, transfers these into the relevant institutions and organizations through practical policies. The Feminist Institute (FI): is an experimental workshop focused on current women’s policy issues that reflects on traditional issues in a new way and on novel issues from an unconventional angle; sets up a number of interdisciplinary and global networks linking future-oriented research approached with current debates; provides an environment where women from academia, the arts, the public and private sectors can exchange information and find orientation and support; questions political (power) strategies and plans of action to give impulses to sustainable gender-sensitive policies from a feminist perspective; encourages the next generation of feminists and supports women from all origins; sets women’s policy issues on the agenda.
