The article mentions rethinking of gender equality problem in the global sense, at the level of international relations implementation and international policy formation, which is rightly considered gendered. The beginning of XXI century is associated with growing role of women in diplomacy, the emergence of bright leaders on international arena, whose activities serve for solving important world problems. It is concluded that there is considerable progress in development of career opportunities for women in the field of international relations.Growing participation of women in diplomatic activities depends on the overall progress in overcoming gender inequality and their political empowerment. It is substantiated that ensuring equal opportunities for career growth requires the formation of a gender-sensitive society both on national and global levels, as well as implementation of systematic gender policy. Further promotion of equal gender opportunities in the field of international relations requires expanding women's access to senior diplomatic positions, expanding their political and managerial empowerment, and bridging the gender pay gap. Formation and implementation of an effective gender policy in Ukraine requires promoting a culture of gender equality; ensuring equal rights and opportunities for professional activity, overcoming the pay gap; support for women representation and participation in all spheres of public life etc.
