What about imposing the gender quota for decision makers? Unless there is an explicit policy statement to the contrary, there is no compelling reason to succumb to external pressures for the 30% female share of decision makers in both the public and private sector.
Politicians are definitely decision makers. Fielding at least 30% female candidates in the next general election would give them sufficient opportunity and justification to stake their subsequent claim for 30% of the political decision makers’ posts (MBs, TMBs at the state level and parliamentary secretaries, deputy ministers, ministers & above at the federal level). 30% is a good starting point, based on the population composition, 50% would be more equitable.
