The IPU’s campaign "Achieving gender equality. Action by action" aims to mobilize the global parliamentary community to accelerate progress in achieving gender equality in politics and society.

Here, Asia Yaghi, a senator from Jordan discusses her journey as a parliamentarian and how her parliament supports gender equality. She is the Chairwoman of the Disability Committee of the Senate of Jordan and president of “I am Human”, an organization which advocates for the rights of people with disabillity. 

The views and opinions expressed by parliamentarians on IPU platforms are their own and do not necessarily reflect the IPU’s position.
