Kristina Lunz, born in September 1989, is the co-founder and co-CEO of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy gGmbH. She is an award-winning human rights activist and former adviser to the Federal Foreign Office.

Kristina was named one of Forbes’ 30 under 30 (in Europe and DACH), Handelsblatt/BCG “Thought Leader 2020”, Focus Magazine’s “100 Women of the Year 2020”, and was recognized by Capital Magazine as “Young Elite – Top 40 under 40”.

She is a first-generation college student and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree from University College London in Global Governance and Ethics, and another Master’s degree from the University of Oxford in Global Governance and Diplomacy.

After graduating, Kristina worked for the United Nations in Myanmar and for an NGO in Colombia. Kristina Lunz has initiated numerous activist campaigns such as “No Means No” and a campaign against sexism in the Bild newspaper. Her book The Future of Foreign Policy is Feminist was published in February 2022 by Econ/Ullstein Verlag.

Kristina Lunz combines peace, human rights, and justice with foreign policy and wants to initiate a paradigm shift: she opposes power politics and military posturing with mediation in peace negotiations, feminist power analyses, and climate justice. Realpolitik is exchanged for utopias, and there are as many female ambassadors as male. Lunz’s core message is, therefore: no peace without feminism.
