As part of its ongoing cooperation with Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), PMNCH actively participated in the IPU Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland from 23-27 March 2024. The central theme of this Assembly was "Parliamentary diplomacy: Building bridges for peace and understanding". The Geneva Declaration, which captures the outcomes of the general debate, has a strong equity focus, and gives visibility to women, children and young people. It recognizes that, vulnerable, marginalized and underrepresented groups, including women, children and youth, are unduly impacted by conflict, worsening existing social inequalities. Furthermore, it calls on parliamentarians to “increase focus on human security … by prioritizing essential needs such as food, health care and environmental security, and on guaranteeing equal rights for all, as the main path to fostering both peace and development.”The PMNCH delegation actively participated in the discussions of the Assembly and IPU Govern
