Conclusion

An intersectional approach is fundamental to building peaceful, inclusive, and just societies. This approach considers the unique experiences and perspectives of different groups of people, and it works to address the root causes of inequality and injustice.

Members of Parliaments must UNITE to strengthen democracies in their countries:

  • Open dialogue and inclusivity: Democracy thrives when there is open dialogue and inclusion of diverse voices. Members of Parliament can organize meetings, online forums, and public consultations to engage directly with constituents. By fostering genuine conversations, we can ensure that policies and decisions reflect the needs and desires of the people.
  • Educational initiatives: Legislators can arrange and participate in workshops, seminars, and campaigns to enhance civic education. An informed electorate is better equipped to participate meaningfully in the democratic process.
  • Transparency and accountability: Upholding the principles of democracy requires transparency in governance and accountability of elected officials. Members of Parliament should champion measures that promote transparency in public affairs.
  • Protection of human rights: Democracy and human rights are intertwined. Members of Parliament must advocate for laws and policies that safeguard the fundamental rights of all peoples, especially human rights defenders, journalists, indigenous communities, vulnerable populations, and legislators at risk.
  • Collaboration beyond borders: As democracy is a global endeavor, parliamentarians can forge international partnerships to share best practices, learn from each other’s experiences, and collectively address challenges that threaten democracy globally.
  • Promoting gender equality: Parliamentarians are encouraged to work towards gender-sensitive legislation and policies that empower women’s participation and representation in politics and society and protect them in the face of rising psychological and physical violence.
