RECOGNIZING THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN DIPLOMACY

Details: Category: Latest; Saturday, 10 March 2018

The Embassy observed International Women’s Day, in line with the Government’s Gender Advocacy and Development (GAD) program by renewing its commitment to advancing the role of women in diplomacy in particular, and in development in general.

The Embassy is actively engaged in the work of women’s diplomatic groups such as the Women’s Diplomatic Network, the Diplomatic Spouses’ Association, and the ASEAN Ladies’ Circle. This ensures that in addressing current day concerns in diplomacy which affect all regardless of gender, women become an important part of problem-solving, decision-making and implementation of programs. It is also pursuing new linkages with local agencies and organizations on women, among others, the UN Women National Committee Aotearoa, National Council of Women, and Human Rights Commission to be able to tap, most of all, their expertise on tackling gender issues specific to the country which also impact Filipino women migrants. For his part, Ambassador Jesus S. Domingo advocates the gender perspective in his role as Patron of the Wellington Multi-Cultural Council and in the Embassy’s Universal Diplomacy initiatives.
