I agree with what my colleague said earlier. I would, however, add that, in order to have more women in positions of power, we need to see more women occupying those positions. Imposing gender equality through a fifty-fifty split could prove detrimental initially. Women could be perceived as taking men's place. Conversely, it would show women younger than I am that they have a place.
We may find ourselves in the space between two generations, where things are challenging. Women might think that they did not work for their place, but that it was given to them because governments were required by law to have more women within their ranks.
Gender equality is important because it allows women to be better represented. We have to work on the foundation. Men have always had the privilege of taking their place here. I think there is room for men and women. Right now, I don't feel that the male majority represents me because I am not a man.
