Alison Grant
Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the International Organizations in Vienna,
Permanent Mission of Canada
“Diplomacy without gender equality is diplomacy only half done. The United Nations remains our most powerful collective instrument to ensure that women’s voices don’t just enter the room, but also shape the outcome.”
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Through strategic interventions and bilateral engagements across bodies such as the IAEA, CTBTO, UNODC and UNOOSA, I will use my position as Canada’s Permanent Representative in Vienna to ensure the issues of both gender equality and gender mainstreaming remain prioritized.
I will ensure that my outreach and engagement efforts intentionally prioritize women and marginalized groups, so their perspectives meaningfully shape discussions and are brought directly into Vienna-based dialogue with senior institutional leadership.
