The International Day of Women in Diplomacy 2025: Breaking Barriers and Leading Change with courage

 The International Day of Women in Diplomacy 2025 is more than a celebration—it is a call to dismantle the structures that hold women back and to foster a world where foreign policy reflects the diversity, wisdom, and leadership of all genders.

The International Day of Women in Diplomacy (IDWD) is observed annually on June 24 to honour and recognize the essential role that women play in the field of diplomacy—historically male-dominated but now slowly transforming with the rise of capable and dynamic women leaders. Designated by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) during its 76th session in 2022 (Resolution A/RES/76/269), this day is a call to action for greater gender equality in foreign policy, peace processes, and global governance.

2025 Theme: Explained:

  • Gender-balanced foreign ministries
  • Anti-harassment and mentoring programs
  • Quotas for women in ambassadorial roles
  • Reform of patriarchal norms within diplomatic institutions

History and Background:

  • First proclaimed: 20 June 2022 (UNGA 76th session)
  • First observed: 24 June 2023

Why This Day Matters:

  • Raises Awareness: Shines a light on the systemic exclusion of women from key diplomatic roles.
  • Promotes Gender Equality in Global Leadership: Supports SDG 5 (Gender Equality), particularly women’s full participation in decision-making.

What You Can Do:

  • Raise Awareness: Share stories of women diplomats and their achievements.
