"It's wonderful to be celebrating women in diplomacy each year", says Chiara Porro, Australia's Ambassador to the Holy See, marking the annual International Day of Women in Diplomacy, celebrated every 24 June. She notes that the diplomatic service has been traditionally male-dominated and recalls her first day of work in the Foreign Service in Australia,"walking down a corridor [decorated only] with portraits of men".
Ambassador Porro highlights the importance of diversity when dealing with conflict and development issues."We know that women are always the first and most severely affected during conflict during humanitarian disasters", and so"having women working in diplomacy, leading diplomatic efforts is incredibly important to be able to reach those who are most affected in these situations".
The Holy See and Australia work well together in this regard and Ambassador Porro notes that just a couple of weeks ago a female aboriginal elder travelled to the Vatican and met with Pope Francis, to whom she spoke about "what her culture brings, her experience in education, her experience with indigenous art, in overcoming barriers, creating bridges between different communities in Australia".
