| Sumario: | International development cooperation has been strongly influenced by gender mainstreaming. Recently, feminist cooperation and aid policies have emerged in different countries, calling for a change in approach. In Spain, universities are important actors in international development, not only by ratifying their commitment to the 2030 Agenda, but also by leading projects and educational actions towards the Sustainable Development Goals. Nevertheless, the gender perspective has sometimes been neglected or poorly implemented in higher education cooperation activities. This article analyses the experiences of cooperation projects in different Spanish universities, identifying their potential and limitations. The results show existing barriers to the integration of a gender perspective. Several opportunities and strategies for overcoming these barriers are addressed in order to move towards Spain's ambitious commitments of feminist cooperation |
