Quotas will address gender imbalance

THERE has been much debate recently on the issue of gender quotas.

Longford Women’s Manifesto Group works on promoting women’s perspectives in decision-making at a local level in Co Longford.

We support gender quotas, but are aware that many women and men oppose quotas on the basis that they unfairly benefit women in a society where women are more than capable of achieving representation in their own right.
