This webinar for parliaments in Africa, organized in collaboration with the African Parliamentary Union (APU) will provide an opportunity to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25 November). It is aimed at gathering information on actions taken by parliaments in Africa to fight sexism, harassment and violence against women on parliamentary premises and in political life since the publication of the study on this subject carried out jointly by the IPU and APU in 2021. Participating delegations will be asked to explain how their parliaments have drawn on this study to confront sexism and gender-based violence within their institutions and in political life more broadly.
