Abstract
More than 90 representatives of women’s wings from five major political parties developed and endorsed a National Action Plan to strengthen their women’s wings and boost their representation on party decision-making bodies. The plan is the outcome of a two-day workshop with women from PPP, PML-N, PML-Q, ANP and MQM arranged by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) to launch a new three-year program to strengthen women’s participation in political parties. The participants included members of the Senate; National Assembly and Provincial Assemblies; and central, provincial and district level leaders of women’s wings from Islamabad and all four provinces.
