Pacific Women's Parliamentary Partnerships Project

Pacific Women's Parliamentary Partnerships Project Encouraging and supporting women’s participation and representation in parliaments throughout the Pacific.

The Pacific Women’s Parliamentary Partnerships Project is one of the programs funded by the Australian Government under the Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development Initiative. The 10-year initiative recognises that, along with economic empowerment and freedom from violence, women’s access to leadership positions is vital if Pacific women are to participate as equals in the democratic development

of their countries. The project was designed to tackle the continuing under-representation of women in parliament. It aims to improve understanding of the factors that constrain women’s political participation, and to build the capacity of women MPs in the Pacific, the institutions in which they work, and the staff who support them in these endeavours. This project considers that, among the many strategies adopted to enhance the capacity of women elected in the Pacific, change is also required in the workplace culture and infrastructure of Pacific parliaments. Increasing the gender sensitivity of men and women in the parliament will improve the environment for all.
