“Peace and prosperity are every person’s birthright.” So opened then Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland’s introduction to Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP).

Key Points:

“Peace and prosperity are every person’s birthright.” So opened then Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland’s introduction to Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP).
Launched in 2017, the policy stated that Canada would take an explicitly feminist approach to international assistance, including a commitment to protecting women’s sexual and reproductive rights.
Many considered it to be a forward-thinking policy that builds on the past work of NGOs and other international partners.
In addition to funding, Joly also offered RCMP support to help investigate the crimes of sexual violence against Israeli women.

Palestinian women’s rights long ignored

Her statement came after United Nations experts expressed alarm over “credible allegations of egregious human rights violations to which Palestinian women and girls continue to be subjected in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.” They cited reports of arbitrary executions, killings, detentions and sexual abuse of Palestinian women and girls by Israeli forces.
Even before the current escalation of violence, Canada’s support of Israel’s actions have long been identified as a significant limitation of FIAP.
Palestinian women also face increased risk of sexual violence.
There are credible reports of sexual violence being used as a tool of war against both Israeli and Palestinian women.

Reproductive health in Gaza in a dire state

An estimated 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza are at increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and maternal death.
The widespread food crisis has also had dire implications for reproductive and maternal health.
Malnutrition affects maternal health, and can also have long-term consequences for the health of mothers and their children.

Canada must act

Meanwhile, Canadian exports of military equipment to Israel have not only continued, but have increased since October.
Global Affairs Canada claims these exports are only for non-lethal equipment.
Canada’s delayed and inconsistent response to Israel’s military violence in Gaza represents a failure to evenly apply its own foreign policy.
If Canada truly wants to create a more peaceful and prosperous world, they must not leave Palestinian women behind.
