Wonderful to hear Baroness Campbell's AI-created voice @UKHouseofLords for the first time; a first for @UKParliament & among the first in any legislature worldwide. More than a tech milestone, it's very much HER voice, a powerful one for a leading disability rights campaigner📣

🇺🇿 Honoured to present the outcomes of the 12th Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians, held in Samarkand, at the #IPU153 Governing Council. Bringing together nearly 150 MPs from 50 countries, the conference reaffirmed the importance of youth participation in decision-making. Our priority now is to turn its recommendations into concrete parliamentary action. 👉 t.me/tanzilanarbaeva/8271 @IPUparliament #IPU153

Honoured to serve as co-rapporteur on this IPU resolution on disability inclusion. As a mother of a son with disability, I know inclusion must go beyond words. Parliaments must legislate, budget and oversee for persons with disabilities equally. Adoption is only the beginning.
