It is now clearer than ever that as the world has grown more interdependent, countries need to work together to find common solutions.
I urge all Speakers to take this message back to parliament following @IPUparliament's World Conference of Speakers of Parliament last week.
#Genderequality is at the core of @IPUparliament's work, and a new publication outlining the 10 actions #parliaments can take to become more gender-equal is now available.
#IPU's theme for 2025, take a look at our gender equality campaign!
➡️ipu.org/10AGE
Our #parliaments must be the frontline of change, and I urge all #MPs to support @IPUparliament's focus for 2025, #genderequality.
Join the campaign, Achieving gender equality, action by action, at this Speakers Conference. #6WCSP

Today we meet with Speakers of #Parliaments in Geneva🇨🇭, an apt location considering it is the city of multilateralism, and @IPUparliament's HQ.
In this vital year for women and girls, let us work together to achieve our goal of leading for inclusive and lasting peace.
#6WCSP
As we mark 30 years since the Beijing Declaration Platform for Action, today I welcomed Women Speakers of Parliament to #15SWSP.
In 1995, 10% of Speaker seats were held by women.
Today that has risen to 21.2%.
This is transformative irreversible - but the pace is too slow.
We have a unique opportunity to have our parliamentary voices heard at #IPU's HLPF highlight the work needed to achieve the #SDGs.
With SDG5 mostly off track, it is timely that @IPUparliament is putting #genderequality centre stage.

We urge India and Pakistan to show maximum restraint amid growing tensions in #Kashmir.
We call on our Member #Parliaments to encourage their governments to de-escalate and protect all communities from further harm. Diplomacy and dialogue are the only ways to resolve this crisis.
Social development comes down to:
☑️Fighting #poverty
☑️Ensuring access to a decent livelihood
☑️Strengthened social bonds
Let's ensure we work together following #IPU150 to achieve social development for all!
Watch the @IPUparliament Assembly live

With great pride, I opened #IPU150 outlining the positive impact @IPUparliament has had across its 150 Assemblies, how together our voices represent diverse peoples, cultures perspectives, and the role parliamentary diplomacy has in the path to peace.
