The WAIPA Townhall, held on 25–26 November 2025 in Bogor, Indonesia, brought together two days of impactful dialogue under the theme “From Participation to Leadership — Empowering Women in Shaping the Political Landscape.” The forum connected grassroots aspirations to national and regional policymaking through interactive discussions and a collaborative workshop.
With over 50 inspiring women, from parliamentarians to youth and women’s organisations, students, and development partners, the Townhall aimed to formulate practical, gender-responsive policy recommendations to be submitted to the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia, underscoring a shared commitment to strengthening women’s participation as a driving force for change in shaping Indonesia’s political and social landscape.
