Out of 190 national parliaments in the world, 78 are bicameral (156 chambers) and 112 are unicameral, making a total of 268 chambers of parliament with some 44,000 members of parliament.

The Fourteenth Workshop of Parliamentary Scholars and Parliamentarians is organized by the Centre for Legislative Studies of the University of Hull. The workshop aims to bring together scholars and parliamentarians to discuss research findings which are likely to be of practical use to parliamentarians.
The final session of the workshop will be dedicated to a discussion of sexism, harassment and violence against women parliamentarians. The session will discuss the possible forms of parliamentary action to combat this phenomenon, and will be informed by the recent studies carried out by the IPU.
