WHY WE CELEBRATE THE DAY?

Pursuant to the adoption of the United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/76/269 proclaiming 24 June as the International Day of Women in Diplomacy (IDWID) and recognizing Women in Diplomacy as important agents to further Socio-Economic Equitable and Inclusive Sustainable Development, The celebration gives the opportunity for Youth to engage with women diplomats as role models. Every year on June 24th to mark the International Day of Women in Diplomacy, the International community honours the invaluable contributions of women diplomats. Their expertise, resilience, and vision inspire us to work towards a more inclusive and equitable society. We believe women diplomats should be at the frontline of efforts to advance cooperation and inclusive transboundary water governance.
