Strengthening Gender-Responsive Legislation
and Institutional Mechanisms
Paving the Way for Gender-Responsive Parliaments
Advancing gender-responsive parliaments:
Strengthen legislation and institutional mechanisms that promote gender-responsive approaches, such as:
Gender impact assessment in lawmaking
• Gender-sensitive oversight
Gender-responsive budgeting
Example in crisis response: Philippines' House of Representatives -- Bill to ensure gender-
responsive and inclusive protocols and programming to address the gender-differentiated needs of
women during COVID-19 by the Committee on Women and Gender Equality.
Idea to be discussed on the Draft Resolution:
In 2012, the IPU adopted a Plan of Action for Gender-Sensitive
Parliaments. WAIPA might consider adopting similar measures at the
regional level, tailor it to our national and regional context.
