Consultant- Violence Against Women
vor 2 Monaten
The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) is the global organization of parliaments. It was founded in 1889 as the first multilateral political organization in the world, encouraging cooperation and dialogue between all nations. Today, the IPU comprises 180 national Member Parliaments and 14 regional parliamentary bodies. The IPU promotes democratic governance, institutions and values, working with parliaments and parliamentarians to articulate and respond to the needs and aspirations of the people. It works for peace, democracy, human rights, gender equality, youth empowerment, climate action and sustainable development through political dialogue, cooperation and parliamentary action.
The IPU recognizes gender equality as a key component of democracy and works to achieve the equal participation of men and women in politics. It provides support to parliaments in advancing gender equality, increasing women’s political participation and leadership, and in transforming themselves into gender-sensitive institutions that deliver on women’s rights. Combatting and eliminating sexism, harassment and violence against women in politics and in parliament are at the heart of such support.
The IPU published a first study on sexism, harassment and violence against women parliamentarians. To deepen documentation and understanding of the issue, the IPU has started a series of regional studies. In 2018, a study on sexism, harassment and violence against women in parliaments in Europe was carried out in partnership with the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). The second in the series of regional studies focused on parliaments in Africa, and was carried out in 2021 with the African Parliamentary Union (APU). The next regional study started end of 2023 with a focus on the parliaments of the Asia-Pacific region and subregions. It is carried out in partnership with the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) and the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA). Its publication is planned at the end of 2024. Also planned is the conduct of another regional study in 2025 with related preparations starting already end of 2024.
