Does gender shape foreign policy preferences in diaspora populations? Evidence shows that women’s socialization makes them less likely to support conflict, more likely to be altruistic and more likely to support Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP). However, we argue that generational status in the diaspora mediates the gender gap in foreign policy preferences. Based on an original survey fielded in June 2024 in Germany, we find that women are less likely to support defence spending and more likely to support FFP. However, men are more likely to support refugee acceptance. Second-generation immigrants drive the gender gap for defence spending and support for FFP, while first-generation immigrants are responsible for the gender gap in refugee acceptance. While there may be a gender gap in diaspora foreign policy preferences, this is explained by experiences of migration and gendered socialization in Germany.
