British Embassy Brussels - Diplomat for a day (Belgian women, aged 16 to 19) (07/02)

From: British Embassy Brussels
The British, Canadian and US Embassies to Belgium invite Belgian women, aged 16 to 19, to enter a competition to be a Diplomat for a Day.
Why you should enter this competition
Women and girls represent half of the world's population and therefore also half of its potential. Today there are too few women in international diplomacy, including women from under-represented backgrounds, whether ethnic, religious, economic, cultural, or personal identity, among others. Women are not represented at parity in political and business sectors.
To end this underrepresentation, we must ensure equality of opportunity and equitable outcomes for everyone.
This is why we, Canada, the UK and the US, are working towards gender equality around the world. The Diplomat for a Day competition is a joint initiative by the 3 Embassies that aims to encourage young women and girls to become leaders and advocates for change, including through mentorship opportunities.
Who can enter
You can enter this competition if, when you apply, you:
- are a Belgian citizen, including a dual national
- identify as a girl or woman
- are between the ages of 16 to 19 years old
You do not need to pay to enter this competition
