Vanuatu’s national parliament doesn’t have a single woman member, but two activists from different generations are committed to changing the gender politics of the island nation.

In the second episode of Island Voices, a three-part podcast series produced by the UN Office for Small Island Developing States (OHRLLS), law student and activist Georgilla Worwor, and Anthea Arukole, a former political advisor to the Vanuatu Government, discuss their political ambitions.

Critical of the current make-up of the parliament, Ms. Worwor and Ms. Arukole are convinced that bringing more women into politics at a national level will improve leadership and decision-making in the country.
