National parliaments are responsible for overseeing and providing accountability for their countries’ action on COVID-19. They are a core focus of accountability for their countries’ commitments on women, peace, and security (WPS). Countries with higher levels of women in decision-making have responded better to the gendered impacts of COVID-19 on women and girls. This UNDP guidance note looks at how parliaments can promote WPS-aligned pandemic response and recovery, and exercise stewardship in the long term, over a collective vision for inclusive human security towards 2030.
