Visiting women MPs from the Pacific have picked up some tips to take back to their Parliaments.
Representation of women in Pacific Parliaments is among the lowest in the world but the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians (CWP) hope to increase women's participation in politics.
Niue MP Mona Ainuu, Tonga MPs Akosita Lavulavu and Losaline Ma'asi and Fiji MP Salote Radrodro visited Wellington this week for a CWP mentoring programme run by the Pacific Region chairperson and Labour MP Poto Williams.
The MPs said they've picked up a few skills to take back to their own parliaments, particularly for handling question time.
