I respect your choice but I feel it could have been thought through more thoroughly. I assure you that*gender quotas*is much more recurrent - and it sounds better too. Waiting for comments would have perhaps been beneficial. Good luck anyways.

gender quotas

I know you might not like the expression or the word "quota", but this expression - together with "women's quotas" and "female quotas" - is actually used when talking about set numbers of seats reserved to women in politics, company boards, etc to enhance female representation.

Thanks.
Thanks but that job had to go right then and there. As it is going to an international audience I preferred the more generic expression! Plus they were referring to women only. My deadlines are always very short!

cheers, Kay
agree WendellR : Too bad; you made the wrong choice, Simona. "Gender quotas" refer to women; "race quotas" refer to people of color. It's the way they're said and used.
