Martin Chungong
Secretary General, Inter-Parliamentary Union,
Chair of the IGC Global Board
Global Board
Gender equality is the responsibility of all and progress will only be achieved if we all play our part. We need to challenge those who have not been playing theirs.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
In addition to the IGC Panel Parity and GBV Pledges, I commit to pursue efforts to empower young women as part of our Generation Equality engagement, in particular by organizing at least one intergenerational mentorship activity in the first half of 2026, bringing together young women from civil society and women MPs.
Make IPU Assemblies ever more gender-responsive and inclusive by encouraging IPU Members to continuously improve gender equality in participation and in our leadership structures by complying with existing statutory obligations, as well as by enhancing efforts to reach the ultimate goal of gender parity set in the IPU Statutes.
