lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of this report as it highlighted the fact that women are under-represented in leading political decision-making bodies. This under-representation is a reflection of the structural discrimination against women in capitalist society. Women are mainly responsible for child-rearing and caring duties and are more likely to take time out of work to fulfil these roles. This leads to discrimination against working women who are less likely to gain promotions, leading to women being concentrated in lower-paid and precarious jobs. Sexism and stereotyping is also a real and serious barrier to women in capitalist society and impacts on women taking leading positions in organisations. I abstained on the separate votes in this report on gender quotas. I do not believe that gender quotas will fundamentally alter discrimination against women in capitalist society. To tackle this discrimination there need to be measures such as state-run, quality, free child care, together with state investment in public services, a significant increase in the minimum wage, the right to a living wage, paid maternity and paternity leave. Quotas will, at best, just give an image of equality without altering the reality for millions of working-class and poor women."@en1
