The main objective of the following article is to make visible the role of women in leadership positions in the field of high diplomacy in Latin America; delving into the situation, problems and challenges for Latin American women diplomats. Within the specific objectives, it seeks to determine the legal frameworks—organic charter, regulations—, the declarations, conventions and documentation emanating from international organizations, which contribute to making gender issues visible and the construction of an agenda and its impact on the Latin American countries. On the other hand, it is about accounting for the quantitative evolution of the incorporation of women to the diplomatic career in Argentin, Colombia and México.
Based on a quantitative-qualitative research methodology that uses the analysis of secondary data sources from the Foreign Service Institutes of the three aforementioned countries and the documentary analysis of international and regional legal frameworks against gender inequality, seeks to address the incorporation of women into public space in a favorable context that is presented as necessary, but not sufficient.
Keywords: Latin America. female leadership. feminist diplomacy. gender inequality
