Women legislators from Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Ukraine, convened to share their experiences in security, defence, and peace – where women’s leadership remains underrepresented yet vital.
Facilitated by the Parliamentary Centre, under the Women Legislators in Defence (WLID) Network, the exchange served as a dynamic platform for women MPs to share strategies, challenges, and successes in shaping policy, legislation, attitudes and practices —particularly in conflict settings and male-dominated political arenas.
