In May 2016, the Council of Women World Leaders met in Amman, Jordan. The Council co-convened a Global Summit with Women in Parliament (WIP) that was hosted by the Plenary of the Jordanian Parliament in Amman. This conference was history in the making as it was the first time over 100 Female Parliamentarians and many Council Members were brought together with a focus on the MENA region. The main goals of the summit were to examine the political leadership in the MENA region, and to develop a set of practices that assist in integrating refugees and migrants into receiving countries. Council members Dalia Grybauskaitė, President of the Republic of Lithuania and Chair of the CWWL, Paula Cox, Former Premier of Bermuda, Tarja Halonen, Former President of Finland, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, President of Malta, and the CWWL Secretary General, Laura Liswood, participated in this event.
