Panel 2

Patterns of Dialogue – Women and Diplomacy

Theme 02

Women are increasingly shaping diplomacy, peacebuilding, and international negotiations, bringing inclusive perspectives and long-term sustainability to global decision-making. This panel will address structural barriers, gender stereotypes, and limited access to decision-making spaces that women diplomats still face. Discussions will focus on strategies to enhance visibility, integrate gender perspectives into foreign policy, and explore how the growing presence of women in diplomacy can redefine dialogue, strengthen international cooperation, and contribute to more equitable global outcomes.
