The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8077, designating June 24, 2026, as the "Florida Day of Women in Diplomacy." This resolution aligns with the United Nations' International Day of Women in Diplomacy, which highlights the essential role women play in diplomacy, peacebuilding, and international relations. Despite their significant contributions, women are underrepresented in diplomatic leadership, holding only 5 percent of chief mediator positions globally. Research indicates that peace agreements involving women are 35 percent more likely to endure for at least 15 years, emphasizing the importance of women's involvement in diplomatic efforts.

The resolution also acknowledges Florida's historical contributions to diplomacy through women leaders, such as Ruth Bryan Owen, the first woman appointed as a U.S. diplomat and a member of the Florida Women's Hall of Fame. By designating this day, the resolution aims to honor the achievements of Florida women in diplomatic roles and inspire future generations to pursue careers in international relations and peacebuilding, thereby promoting greater participation and leadership of women in these fields.
