IPU's 136th Anniversary.

136 years in 136 seconds.



Join us in celebrating International Day of Parliamentarism  and the IPU’s 136th anniversary on or around Monday 30 June 2025!

The IPU was founded on 30 June 1889 by a small group of parliamentarians who believed that parliamentary dialogue and diplomacy were a better way of settling differences than war.

136 years later, the IPU is the parliament of parliaments, a thriving international organization made up of 181 national parliaments and open to all 46,000 parliamentarians in the world.

This year, in line with the IPU's theme of the year, we are encouraging you to join our new campaign Achieving gender equality, action by action

• Share your story: Tell us what your parliament is doing to advance gender equality and which of the 10 key actions you have implemented.
• Use our toolkit: Access our campaign toolkit, including ready-to-use social media assets, to amplify your efforts.
• Host an event or debate: Organize a special event or parliamentary debate to celebrate the day focusing on gender equality and the campaign’s objectives.
