young woman speaking

The Commonwealth Secretariat and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association will co-host a hybrid Rule of Law Seminar focused on advancing the participation of young women in politics in member countries.

The seminar will bring together parliamentarians, experts and emerging leaders to share experiences, discuss challenges and identify practical ways to increase women’s participation in political and parliamentary processes.

Discussions will highlight proven approaches that have helped break down structural and cultural barriers to women’s political participation. Participants will also explore how these approaches can be adapted and scaled in different country contexts to support more young women to enter and lead in politics.
