Key Takeaways: Regional Intergenerational Dialogue Waves of Change: Pacific Women in Politics Across Generations 30 September - 1 October 2025 | Nadi, Fiji

Under the umbrella of WYDE | Women’s Leadership initiative, funded by the EU and in partnership with International IDEA, IPU, and UCLG, UN Women hosted the second of a series of intergenerational Regional Convenings during its second year of implementation. The convening served as a moment to gather women leaders and activists from the Pacific region to exchange knowledge, discuss challenges to women’s participation and leadership in political and public life and build capacities in an intergenerational space. The intergenerational dialogues are part of the WYDE | Women’s Leadership strategy to promote and encourage more young women to enter public life and support efforts of women office holders in their efforts to advance the implementation of international and regional normative frameworks on gender equality and women’s participation in political and public life. 

This report, prepared by UN Women Fiji MCO and WYDE |Women’s Leadership teams summarises the presentations and highlights key takeaways from the discussions which will inform not only the implementation of the WYDE | Women’s Leadership programme but also further work on women’s leadership and decision-making, in the region and beyond. 

UN Women extends its gratitude to all the participants to this Convening.
