Women MP are so often held to higher standards than their male counterparts. It makes political/public life even tougher @ForumSEC @spc_cps @IPUparliament @UNDP_Pacific @unwomenpacific

[ABC Pacific @ABCPacific]

The Pacific Islands have some of the lowest levels of women's political participation in the world.

@lenoraqfj is the deputy speaker of Fiji's Parliament, she says one of the barriers to participation is extreme scrutiny women face online.

Great showcase of some of our Pacific women MPs @ForumSEC @spc_cps @unwomenpacific @UNDP_Pacific @PacWomenLead @iKNOW_Politics

[ABC Pacific @ABCPacific]

Women are significantly under-represented in parliamentary politics in the Pacific Islands.

But some like @GloriaJuliaKing, @lenoraqfj, and Fiame Naomi Mata'afa are leading the change.

#EqualityForAll

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Equal rights for women does not mean fewer rights for men.

❌ It’s not a pie! 🥧

We ALL deserve to have equal rights.

[Pacific Women In Politics @PacWIP]

Changing deep-seated social norms is critical to achieving gender equality #equalrights

[Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) @WFD_Democracy]

We need to see a change in norms and attitudes to ensure women’s equal political participation and leadership. And, we need men to be allies in helping us to get there - especially those in power.

What are you doing to make the change?
