Recommendations from the F4FF Conference
Mobilizing resources for gender justice
Despite decades of advocacy, no country has achieved full gender equality. Feminist movements and civil society organizations remain vital drivers of change, but they continue to operate with limited resources. Today, the feminist funding landscape is experiencing seismic shifts: deep cuts to Official Development Assistance and the rise of well-funded anti-rights actors are threatening to undo hard-won gains.
Walking the Talk advocates for inclusive foreign policies, practices, and funding that champion gender equality in the European Union, reflecting the voices of women and LGBTIQ+ communities from the Majority World.
Join us to connect, share, and strategize to secure more and better funding for feminist futures.

Review of the F4FF Conference
The Financing for Feminist Futures Conference was held in Madrid from October 8-10, 2025. Over 200 activists, researchers, government representatives, parliamentarians, public agencies, and private funders from all walks of life joined the event. Together, we shaped futures where feminist principles guide global development and foreign policy. And we mobilized the knowledge and resources needed to create a gender-just world.
Ten days after the Financing for Feminist Futures Conference in Madrid, the 4th Feminist Foreign Policy Ministerial Conference took place in Paris. The Walking the Talk consortium was present in Paris and brought the key outcomes from the F4FF conference to the table.
