Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

The International Day of Women in Diplomacy is observed every year on June 24 to recognize and honour the contributions of women in global diplomacy and foreign policy. Designated by the United Nations General Assembly in its 76th session through Resolution A/RES/76/269, the day underscores the importance of gender equality in international relations. It draws attention to the structural barriers that prevent women from holding leadership roles in diplomacy and advocates for inclusive reforms such as quotas, anti-harassment initiatives, and gender-balanced ministries. The 2025 theme, “Eliminating Structural Barriers to Women’s Leadership in Diplomacy,” reflects the global push toward equitable representation in decision-making spaces.
