Centre for Women in Aviation Diplomacy & Governance
Champions feminist foreign policy and global aviation diplomacy. Promotes women's leadership in international aviation bodies and builds strategic alliances to foster inclusive and equitable governance systems.
The Centre for Women in Aviation Diplomacy & Governance pioneers a new era of global aviation engagement through the lens of feminist diplomacy, strategic foresight, and intersectional governance. Recognizing the underrepresentation of women in high-stakes aviation negotiations and policy-making arenas, this Centre is committed to amplifying the voices, agency, and leadership of women across national and international aviation platforms.
At its core, the Centre promotes the integration of feminist foreign policy principles within the aviation sector—emphasizing equity, inclusion, peace, and human rights in bilateral, regional, and multilateral aviation agreements. It supports capacity-building for women negotiators, strategic advisors, and policy architects engaged in ICAO, IATA, UN bodies, and regional aviation partnerships.
Research efforts focus on identifying structural barriers to women's participation in aviation governance, mapping the gender dynamics of global aviation diplomacy, and developing tools for inclusive decision-making and negotiation frameworks. The Centre also explores how gender-transformative governance models can enhance aviation safety, resilience, and sustainable development.
Through high-impact dialogues, leadership incubators, and knowledge diplomacy initiatives, this Centre fosters international collaboration, policy influence, and solidarity among women aviation leaders, diplomats, and innovators. It serves as both a thought leadership platform and a policy accelerator, bridging the gap between feminist theory and aviation diplomacy practice.
