Notes
All members are female MPs and all female MPs are members of the Women Parliamentarians Club. Depending on the agenda of the meeting, the President of the National Assembly, MPs and other persons may be invited to attend the Club’s meetings. The Club represents a form of inter-party integration of all female MPs.

At the beginning of each 6-month chairmanship, the Club discusses/adopts its work programme. The work programme is not very formal and can be modified later on, if necessary.

The Rules of Procedure of the Women Parliamentarians Club specify the rules regarding chairmanship, the calling of the Club’s meetings, the majority necessary to adopt decisions, and overall governance for the functioning of the Club.
