However, international statistics tell us that the inclusion of women in international decision-making and negotiation mechanisms is often insufficient: in 2022, women ambassadors average only 21.6% in the world's 40 largest economies. Ensuring that women play a key role in discussions and decision-making processes in the different fields of diplomacy could truly take into account women's voices and rights and make international governance more inclusive.
