According to the report, women hold a mere 20.54% of diplomatic positions in 2023, highlighting the need for continued dialogue to break down barriers and find solutions. The event brought together diplomats, academics, and professionals to engage in important discussions and exchange ideas on promoting gender equality and increasing the representation of women in diplomacy.
