International Parliamentary Conference on Gender and Politics

23 August 2012

 

Between 6th – 8th November 2012, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) UK and the British Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) are hosting an International Parliamentary Conference on Gender and Politics, with up to 120 international parliamentarians expected to attend.

 

The aim of the conference is to focus on political participation, education, economic empowerment and the impact on women and men of gender policies and legislation. To provide City hosts and guests with an opportunity to engage with UK and international parliamentarians and other conference contributors and to facilitate dialogue between international parliamentarians attending the conference, we recommend that conference delegates be invited to attend a reception in the Crypts on 6 November 2012. This would include international parliamentarians and prominent women in business within the City, as well as key business leaders and Members with relevant interests.

 

This would be a Resource Allocation Sub-Committee event.
