Parliamentarians for Global Action

Published purpose

This project aims to increase society's resilience in the face of threats to democracy and human rights violations. Project activities include: (1) recruiting parliamentarians to be part of a parliamentary rapid response team; (2) liaising with parliamentarians in at-risk countries and disseminating “urgent action alerts” recommending advocacy and legislative action as situations arise; (3) developing a global parliamentary code of democratic conduct for members of parliament and monitoring commitment to it; (4) develop and disseminate a “parliamentary toolkit for democracy advocacy”; (5) organize workshops with stakeholders on topics such as digital democracy, combating misinformation, gender and democracy; and (6) working with individual members of parliament to customize legislative reform implementation plans.
