In line with this year’s IPU theme, we echo the call to achieve gender equality, action by action. Parliamentarians play a vital role in advancing inclusive governance by ensuring that the voices of women, youth, and marginalised communities are reflected in decision-making. From embracing innovation to strengthening transparency and accountability, parliaments are continuing to evolve to meet the demands of a changing world.

The International Day of Parliamentarism is a time to review the progress that parliaments have made in achieving some key goals to be more representative and move with the times, including carrying out self-assessments, working to include more women and young MPs, and adapting to new technologies.
