Today, Wednesday, the fourth ministerial conference on women’s diplomacy commenced in the French capital, Paris. This event is one of the prominent international gatherings aimed at enhancing women’s rights and gender equality, with the participation of the Kingdom of Morocco.
The Moroccan delegation at this event is headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, alongside the Ambassador of His Majesty to Paris, Samira Sitaïl, and various other Moroccan diplomatic figures.
The conference, which follows a series of previous meetings held in Germany in 2022, the Netherlands in 2023, and Mexico in 2024, sees participation from around 450 attendees, including fifty foreign ministers, as well as representatives from international organizations, development banks, and civil society institutions.
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed in an official statement that this meeting serves as an opportunity to renew the commitment of participating countries and their partners to defend international frameworks related to women’s rights and equality, and to reject any regression of the achievements made in this field.
The conference program includes four general sessions discussing pivotal topics, including “Ten Years of Women’s Diplomacy: Resistance and Unity in the Face of Setbacks,” “Feminist Reform of the International Financial Structure,” “Regional Perspectives on Women’s Diplomacy,” and “Women’s Diplomacy in Service of Peace and Security.”
Additionally, the event will host round tables and parallel activities, along with a discussion session dedicated to young women creators in the digital content sphere on issues of “cyber harassment” and “gender-based misinformation.”
According to the official conference website, women’s diplomacy aims to make gender equality a central element in all areas of foreign policy, including peace and security, development, governance, humanitarian work, trade, culture, education, and health, emphasizing that this approach encompasses various aspects of diplomatic work, whether bilateral or multilateral, in addition to consular activities.
