KIGALI, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- Female Members of Parliament under the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) vowed to prioritize the empowerment of girls in societies.
"We have a responsibility to ensure that the empowerment of girls is a top priority and that their basic rights are protected and fulfilled to ensure the gender-equal future of our societies," said Esperance Nyirasafari, president of the Forum of Women Parliamentarians.
As female leaders we must lead by example and act as an inspiration for women and girls across the world, Nyirasafari, who also serves as the vice president of the Rwandan Senate, said, during the Forum of Women Parliamentarians, a sideline event of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) assembly which kicked off in Rwanda's capital Kigali on Tuesday.
