UNIDIR and the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy are pleased to invite you to the launch of the 2024 Women in Diplomacy Index, an annual index that tracks women’s representation at the ambassadorial level across 193 UN Member States. By surveying more than 12,000 ambassadorial positions globally, the presentation will reflect on the progress that has been made when it comes to appointing more women ambassadors. 

The event will convene experts, policymakers, scholars and diplomats to explore strategies for enhancing women’s representation in diplomacy, with a focus on senior leadership roles. Through a moderated panel discussion, participants will examine best practices and lessons learned in recruitment, promotion and retention policies. The discussion will also highlight the contributions of diplomatic academies and think tanks, as well as the role of women in diplomacy under the Women, Peace and Security agenda.

Participants: We welcome representatives from Member State delegations, civil society, academia and intergovernmental organizations.
