Our Mission
Women’s International Forum
The Women’s International Forum’s mission is to provide a forum for briefings and discussions on international affairs to promote understanding and mutual appreciation among members of the diplomatic community. We strive to share knowledge, raise awareness about current international issues, and to uphold the principles of the United Nations Charter.
We are dedicated to:
Knowledge
Sharing knowledge and raising awareness about current global issues
Dialogue
Fostering dialogue and collaboration among diverse voices
Principles
Upholding the principles of the United Nations Charter
Empower
Empowering women in the international arena
The Women’s International Forum is a voluntary not-for-profit organization comprising members from the UN diplomatic community, including spouses of diplomats, diplomats, members of the Consular Corps, international civil servants and society, and representatives of non-governmental organizations.
We believe that by working together and engaging in honest conversations, we can build shared understanding and find meaningful ways forward, even amid uncertainty and change.
