This project aims to foster gender-responsive parliamentary governance across 19 Latin American countries. It does so through regional network building, technical assistance, and capacity development of parliamentarians, parliamentary staff, women’s advocates and civil society. The project seeks to dismantle political, structural and legislative barriers to gender equality and to women’s empowerment. The project implements activities to strengthen the capacities of parliamentary stakeholders to collaborate on gender-sensitive issues, including climate change, many of which are not often seen as gender issues. By tackling existing challenges to women’s meaningful participation in parliamentary action, the project supports advocacy to fight and adapt to climate change in the region.
