Feminist Policy India
Transformative policy and financing for gender equality
The Feminist Policy Collective (FPC) was formally set up in February 2019, following a national consultation co-organised by National Foundation for India (NFI), OXFAM, UN Women, IWWAGE-LEAD at Krea University, and Society for Health Alternatives (SAHAJ) with the support of a core group of feminists. The FPC membership was largely associational in nature. This group had been working together as a collective since June 2018, and organised a consultation in February 2019 to discuss ways of transforming the gender responsive budgeting framework and make a difference in the way policy and finance could change gender relations. This effort brought the group together, and helped establish the FPC.

IWWAGE has been a co-secretariat for the FPC and IWWAGE representative is also one of the co-conveners of the collective.
