Preferred term

gender quotas  

Definition

  • Gender quotas are a corrective measure used by political actors (e.g., political parties) to enhance representation of women in political and public institutions such as parliaments, councils, and parties. They require women or female candidates constitute a targeted minimum of the members of a publicly elected or appointed political body. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Gender Quotas]
