Women in politics continue to face threats and harassment, raising questions about how they can be better supported in public life.

The Network of Women in Parliament is a new initiative aiming to unite women across political parties to create space for collaboration, support and shared experiences in an often-challenging environment.

Following a string of alleged national and state-based incidents involving women in politics, the network highlights the importance of building connections across party lines, so woman can strengthen representation and increase political participation. 

The Wire's Georgia Perry spoke with Co-chair of the network, SA's Independent Federal Member for Mayo Rebekha Sharkie to hear more.
