What the %&$@ is feminist foreign policy?

It's our 50th episode! And if you have joined the journey so far, you'll know Teia and Lauren like to talk about power and feminist ways of working. This time they're talking about feminist policies. All this policy and feminism talk can seem pretty comforting at first, but Lauren and Teia ask; What are they? Why does Sweden have one? Who else has a feminist policy, and what's the impact? Are they even fit for purpose?
