A new ruling stipulates that its female members have the right to decide whether a debate continues in the event of gender imbalance among its speakers.
A new ruling, adopted at the party's conference in Bielefeld, which ran from Friday to Sunday, stipulates that its female members have the right to decide whether a debate continues in the event of gender imbalance among its speakers. The Greens had previously ruled that women and men were required to speak alternately during party debates.
"If, however, the entire assembly is asked whether a debate should be continued by men in the event of a lack of women on the speakers list, the idea of quotas is reduced to absurdity."It would not be in women's hands to decide whether to allow the debate to be conducted without female voices, but also in those of men."The women's statute should actually counteract such patriarchal structures."Quotas are a terrible way to promote board diversity.
