Abstract

Women’s issues began to be discussed more and more concerning international relations after the conclusion of the Cold War, and feminism has grown to be a significant theory in the field. At the same time, the reconstructed international pattern after the Cold War also provides a new perspective for feminist research. Using documentary analysis, this paper seeks to show the reader the positive impact of international engagement on the feminist movement from three perspectives: the United Nations, international feminist NGOs, and women in diplomacy. In general, the rise of feminism has become a significant trend in a global community that is interdependent but divided, rapidly developing but in crisis, and eager to cooperate but still in need of communication. Feminism is a vital force in the governance of the international community. From the programmatic documents adopted by the United Nations to the unifying role played by NGOs and the strong presence of women in diplomacy, it has made a remarkable contribution to building an equal future for humanity.
