workshops at the Senedd.

SixfemaleMPstravelled to Cardiff to discuss women in democracy as part
of a project called Wo/Men in Politics.

The initiative is backed by the National Assembly, British Council and
British Embassy in Yerevan.

Kevin Higgins, director British Council Wales, said: "Since 2005, when
British Council initiated the first international conference on gender
equality in politics, and the National Assembly for Wales hosted
