The Government of Canada introduced its new Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) to guide its foreign aid programming in June 2017. This feminist turn mirrors earlier adoptions of feminist aid and foreign policy by Sweden and echoes the current Canadian government's feminist rhetoric. This paper examines the FIAP and its Action Areas Policies to ask what kind(s) of feminism are reflected in the policy and what groups of people it prioritizes. The paper examines the values, goals, and gaps of the policy in order to understand what feminist values and goals are being operationalized and pursued and what gaps and contradictions exist. By examining the FIAP's Action Area Policies using a discourse network analysis of the groups represented in the policies, we demonstrate the failings of the FIAP to incorporate an intersectional approach. Our results show that the FIAP adopts a mainstream liberal feminism that excludes many peoples and groups from the core of Canada's aid efforts.
2017年6月，加拿大政府推出了新的女权主义国际援助政策（FIAP），以指导其对外援助项目。这种女权主义转向反映了瑞典早期对女权主义援助和外交政策的采纳，并呼应了现任加拿大政府的女权主义言辞。本文审视了FIAP及其行动领域政策，以探讨该政策体现了何种女权主义以及它优先考虑哪些人群。本文考察了该政策的价值观、目标和差距，以便了解正在实施和追求哪些女权主义价值观和目标，以及存在哪些差距和矛盾。通过对政策中所代表群体进行话语网络分析来审视FIAP的行动领域政策，我们证明了FIAP未能采用一种交叉性方法。我们的结果表明，FIAP采用了主流的自由女权主义，将许多民族和群体排除在加拿大援助工作的核心之外。
