NED recognizes the crucial role of women's leadership in democracy and advocates for the inclusion of women in all aspects of society. Every 8th of March, International Women's Day is a moment to celebrate women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. The UK reaffirms its commitment to gender equality and inclusivity in response to the OSCE's focus on women's rights and representation.

In the spirit of inclusivity, UCB emphasizes the need to include pregnant and breastfeeding women in discussions on diversity.
