I discuss the prospects for future studies of parity-violating (PV) interactions at low energies and the insights they might provide about open questions in the standard model as well as physics that lies beyond it. I cover four types of parity-violating observables: PV electron scattering; PV hadronic interactions; PV correlations in weak decays and searches for the permanent electric dipole moments of quantum systems.
