Why Quatas work to get diversity

Looking into history it suprises my how little history many of my sisters know. This reminds med of something somebody once told be: history is His Story, all the history of women are more or less delibaraty written out. Well, anyway in the celebration of Norways first and so far only prime minister the results of a long batle is depressingly small, with exceptions of those areanes where quations has been imposed. Look into the norwegian politics. Since 1983 our main parties have been discussing how to get women into top position. When Arbeiderpartiet and SV posted a rule in the party quating at least 40% women to the parlament, the representation of women in the norwegian parlament rose from 13.5% to 37.5% during two election periods. Does this mean that the women in the paralament are less qualified than their male counterparts? I doubt it and can defintly not see the sign of it in todays politics. Today 5 out of 7 parties are presidented by women in Norway, and the fresh municipality election gave a significant increase in women majors.


So why are so many women against quations to the board room? What are they afraid of? Do they not belive in their own resources knowing that once they are on the inside they will performe brilliant? Or are they just bigger fighters and wanting to go the longest and hardest way?

For those of us who has been quoated we find it hard enough to enter the room and to perform there. Please do not give us any more obstacles and causes to be aware of. If you want to join this possibility and contribute to the qulaity of the boardroom work, say yes to quation.
