Addressing violence against women in politics: Institutional responses and good practices by parliaments

The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) is delighted to partner with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to publish thi research document, Addressing violence against women in politics: Institutional responses and good practices by parliaments. This publication is a testament to the long-standing partnership between the IPU and the UNDP, united by a shared commitment to supporting the elimination of violence against women in political life.

The IPU has long been committed to supporting parliaments in becoming gender-sensitive institutions that fully uphold women’s rights and promote equal participation in political life. Ensuring that parliaments are safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces is a central component of this commitment. Over the years, the IPU has worked closely with parliaments and partners to document, analyse and address violence against women in parliaments.
