International IDEA has organized a meeting of female parliamentarians from six countries who will meet in Lima on June 4-5, 2007 to analyze their experiences as members of women’s parliamentarian caucuses.
Increasingly in recent years, female congresswomen have organized across party lines to create permanent caucuses aimed at promoting consensus on a broad array of gender equity legislation. In addition to experience exchange between the countries, the event will include sessions on: a. electoral reform and women’s representation; b. women and campaign financing; and c. the gender agenda in Latin American parliaments. Female political leaders from Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Uruguay and Chile are slated to attend.
