About the International Day of Women in Diplomacy

Women
Ends: Jun 24, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Women, representing half of the world's population and potential, are essential in global governance and diplomacy. They broaden the scope of issues considered and improve outcomes with their leadership styles, expertise, and priorities. Research suggests that when women are involved in cabinets and parliaments, they pass laws and policies better suited for people, the environment, and social cohesion. Increasing women's participation in peace and political processes is crucial to achieving real equality amidst entrenched discrimination.
However, progress towards gender equality in political roles is slow. Of the 193 United Nations Member States, only 34 women serve as elected Heads of State or Government. Global proportions of women in other political offices are low: 21% of ministers, 26% of national parliamentarians, and 34% of local government elected seats. At the current pace, equal parliamentary representation won't be achieved until 2062.
Historically, men have dominated diplomacy, often overshadowing women's significant contributions. As of 2014, 143 countries guaranteed gender equality in their constitutions, but 52 have not. Advocating for increased women's representation in decision-making positions will shape and implement multilateral agendas significantly.
Despite representing only 13% of negotiators, 6% of mediators, and 6% of signatories in peace processes from 1992 to 2019, women's contributions are critical. Gender equality and women's empowerment are key to progress across all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially since SDG 5 calls for women's equal participation in decision-making.
The United Nations General Assembly declared June 24 each year as the International Day of Women in Diplomacy, inviting all Member States, UN organizations, and non-governmental groups to observe the Day through education and public awareness-raising. However, further progress is needed as women remain underrepresented in many fields, including technical arms control. Despite these challenges, where more women are involved in government, less defense spending and more social spending has been noted.
