Feminist Open Government Post-pandemic - Stagnation or Hope?
In 2018, the Open Government Partnership introduced Feminist Open Government as a theme. The following year, the government of Canada adopted it as their main theme for the OGP summit. We saw countries discussing gender and how they can promote equality and for a while, things looked bright. Then the pandemic hit us all, but women, LGBTQ+ and ethnic minorities the most.

How did “open” fare this year?
2022 has undoubtedly been different from the last 2 years. Air spaces opened up and we were able to move around the globe to attend open+ conferences, something that we weren’t able to do since the pandemic began.
