With the theme "From Mexico to the world: Let's mobilize for gender parity!", the Global Conference of Women Parliamentarians was intended as a platform to discuss good practices in advancing women's political participation and leadership. The participants heard from a diverse group of parity parliaments, identified challenges in ensuring equal representation and influence for women, and explored effective strategies toward achieving gender parity. The event was jointly organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the Senate of Mexico.

Congresswoman Roman emphasized that the conference is an inspiring step towards a more inclusive and progressive society. Both Representatives discussed and shared their experiences as women legislators in the Philippines, as well as the challenges and difficulties in passing pro-women and pro-LGBTQ bills. END
