On 9 March 2021, the honourable Salma Ataullahjan, Senator, attended the Inter-Parliamentary Union’s (IPU) 45th Session of the Bureau of Women Parliamentarians. She joined other members of the Bureau from Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sweden, and Thailand among others, as well as its President, Ms. Susan Kihika (Kenya), to review the IPU’s recent and upcoming activities on gender equality. These included the release of the IPU’s 2020 Women in Parliament report and related infographic. Senator Ataullahjan highlighted progress towards gender equality in both chambers of the Parliament of Canada, underscoring that the Senate had achieved gender parity. She also provided an update on the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadian women generally, and on care workers, refugees, members of the Indigenous and underrepresented communities specifically, as well as an update on the vaccination rollout. During the Bureau’s discussion of gender equality as a possible theme for the IPU’s 143rd Assembly scheduled for November 2021 in Rwanda – a theme inspired by the host’s achievements in gender parity - Senator Ataullahjan underlined the importance of including the experiences of marginalized, racialized and Indigenous women. She also volunteered to attend on behalf of the Bureau’s president virtual meetings of various IPU bodies related to the 142nd Assembly that is taking place virtually 24 to 27 May 2021. The Bureau itself will continue to meet online over the coming weeks to prepare for the virtual session of the IPU’s Forum of Women Parliamentarians as part of the related meetings of the 142nd Assembly.
