Quotas can strengthen the participation of underrepresented groups in political decision-making, but the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Without other support systems, quotas don't always automatically improve the targeted group's opportunities to influence political processes. Also, authoritarian countries may promote political inclusion only to increase the legitimacy of the authoritarian government. Iida Kalmanlehto's blog explores the pros, cons and good practices of quotas in decision-making. #democracy #inclusion #GenderEquality

Today is IDAHOBIT Day, and I'm reflecting on the great work of Pathways to Politics for Women and the benefits of a more representative parliament. At the core of electing more LGBTIQ+ people is the fact that representation matters. A parliament that better reflects our wider community enables it to make decisions and provide scrutiny that better represents the experiences, needs, views, and aspirations of the population it serves. A greater diversity of elected representatives is a significant step towards a healthier democracy. Having people at the table with significantly different backgrounds and perspectives can facilitate a more dynamic and productive conversation. This conversation is fundamental to a constructive and constructively critical exchange of views. Let's continue to push for a more inclusive and representative parliament.
