Two Concepts of Equality I can say that quotas for women lead to the shift from one concept of equality to another. The first equality concept regards equality as “equal opportunity” or “competitive equality” and its essence lay in the fact that in order to guarantee equal rights for women politicians it is essential to remove some formal barriers. However, the result of this was visible only for individual women (Women in Politics: Beyond Numbers, 2007).

Women in Politic
However, this is but the only example. So, in this paper I will focus mainly on the quotas promoting women representation. “One cannot deal with the problem of female representation by a quota system alone. Political parties, the educational system, NGOs, trade unions, churches - all must take responsibility within their own organizations to systematically promote women's participation, from the bottom up. This will take time. It will not happen overnight, or in one year or five years; it will take one or two generations to realize significant change.
