PacWIP serves as the Pacific's central hub for information, resources, and advocacy on women's political participation. We bring together candidates, elected representatives, civil society organizations, and regional stakeholders working to advance gender equality in political leadership across our island nations.

National Women MPs

In the Pacific, women hold only 9% of parliamentary seats, the world’s lowest level of female political representation.

Resources

In the Pacific, women have equal rights to participate in politics, but cultural and economic barriers limit their involvement.
