The IPU facilitates parliamentary diplomacy and empowers parliaments and parliamentarians to promote peace, democracy and sustainable development around the world.
This brochure was designed for the IPU campaign Parliaments Take Action on Violence against Women. It focuses on six priority actions for parliaments identified as the principal elements and strategies likely to effectively contribute to putting an end to violence against women. It includes examples of parliamentary mechanisms and initiatives that have been taken to address this scourge, reflecting the diversity of national situations, experiences and measures which contribute to end violence against women.
