Women in Parliament APPG

First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

Brings together MPs and peers to celebrate progress in women's representation and advocate for more women in parliament across all parties, aiming for a diverse, gender-equal parliament by 2028 - the centenary of equal franchise. Supports women in parliament and those standing for public office.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
