Manipulating gender quota is ‘slap in the face’ to fair representations, says Women’s Lobby

Apr 10 2022

Following what has been called ‘manipulation’ of the recently-introduced gender corrective mechanism, The Malta Women’s Lobby has expressed its distaste with the situation and called it a ‘slap in the face’ of real, fair representation.

In a statement published on Saturday, the Women’s Lobby stated that “in spite of pressure on some women candidates not to contest the by-election, women have still participated fully in this process. The attempt to manipulate the system is a slap in the face to those who have fair representation at heart.”

Earlier this week, PN candidate Janice Chetcuti passed on the opportunity to contest the casual election and use the gender corrective to get into Parliament, opting to use the gender corrective mechanism instead to give a chance to other candidates in her third district.

The mechanism will give a total of 12 additional seats, sex to each party, to Malta’s political parties in order to increase the number of women MPs.

The lobby stated that “Having another candidate represent a particular constituency is nothing but a veiled excuse, and it is evident party matters are being prioritised over democratic representation,” concluding by stating that “the perception of women as second class citizens needs to stop now.”
