Empowering women through diplomacy

Empowering women through diplomacy

Foreign Affairs Minister Ivan Korcok on Wednesday, March 9, awarded three Slovak female diplomats who contributed to the development of Slovakia's foreign service - Magda Vasaryova, Vlasta Kunova and Eva Bezakova. The awarding ceremony was a part of the second year of the Women in Diplomacy initiative, focused on women in international politics, diplomacy, international organisations, as well as development and humanitarian projects in the world.

Promoting values and good practices to achieve gender equality, and to guarantee all women enjoy their human rights, through diplomatic relations is the basis of the so called feminist foreign policy, which has been adopted already by a few countries, such as Sweden, Canada and as of 2019 also France. How can foreign policy promote and empower the position of women in other countries? Zuzana Botiková sat down with Cheryl Cruz, Chargé d'affaires of the Office of the Canadian Embassy in Slovakia to discuss this issue.
