Plan of Action to Correct Present Imbalances in the Participation of Men and Women in Political Life

This plan of action represents the Inter-Parliamentary Union's (IPU) main intellectual input to the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995. It proposes steps to remedy women's low involvement in political life by covering four areas: conditions for active participation by women in political life; the legal basis for equality; participation in politics at the national level; and women's participation in IPU's activities.
