10 actions for Gender Equality

The IPU’s ‘Achieving gender equality, action by action’ campaign aims to mobilize the global parliamentary community to accelerate progress in achieving gender equality in politics and society. With progress on women’s representation in parliaments stalling, and a concerning rollback of women’s rights in some countries, the campaign emphasizes the urgency of immediate action, inviting members of parliament to lead by example and commit to transformative actions that advance gender equality.

This guide presents 10 concrete actions that every parliamentarian can take – from enacting parity laws and combating violence against women in politics, to ensuring equal leadership, revising discriminatory laws, and fostering gender-sensitive institutions.
