Gender equality will always require dialogue, cooperation and collaboration between men and women. Great example of such positive partnerships! #pacwip @ForumSEC @spc_cps

Women MP are so often held to higher standards than their male counterparts. It makes political/public life even tougher @ForumSEC @spc_cps @IPUparliament @UNDP_Pacific @unwomenpacific

The Pacific Islands have some of the lowest levels of women's political participation in the world.   @lenoraqfj is the deputy speaker of Fiji's Parliament, she says one of the barriers to participation is extreme scrutiny women face online. Read more: ab.co/3NmQxCl

Useful analysis from @IPUparliament

🌎 While more #womenMPs than ever are entering #parliaments around the world, wide regional gaps persist. See the latest data on #womeninpolitics ➡️ iknowpolitics.org/en/learn/knowl… @IPUparliament @BGIPU #genderequality #politics #inclusion



Great showcase of some of our Pacific women MPs @ForumSEC @spc_cps @unwomenpacific @UNDP_Pacific @PacWomenLead @iKNOW_Politics

Women are significantly under-represented in parliamentary politics in the Pacific Islands. But some like @GloriaJuliaKing, @lenoraqfj, and Fiame Naomi Mata'afa are leading the change.  abc.net.au/pacific/progra…



Pacific Parliamentarians can take this declaration home and implement it for the benefit of gender equality and national development more generally @UNDP_Pacific @unwomenpacific @ForumSEC @spc_cps @PacWomenLead @dfat

#Genderequality has always been on #IPU's agenda. The Kigali Declaration 2022: Gender equality and gender-sensitive #parliaments as drivers of change for a more resilient and peaceful world was adopted at #IPU145 and accelerates that message. Learn more ➡️ipu.org/IR22

Equal rights for women does not mean fewer rights for men. ❌ It’s not a pie! 🥧 We ALL deserve to have equal rights.

We ALL deserve to have equal rights.


Changing deep-seated social norms is critical to achieving gender equality #equalrights

We need to see a change in norms and attitudes to ensure women’s equal political participation and leadership. And, we need men to be allies in helping us to get there - especially those in power. What are you doing to make the change? #LeadershipJourneys #IWD2023
