"Women have equal dignity and rights to men. Therefore, I am voting against the introduction of quotas for women.
A man or a woman should be chosen for a given role based on their skills and qualifications for carrying out the work for which they are putting themselves forward, independently of their gender or sexual orientation.
Deciding beforehand that a certain number of jobs must be assigned to women solely because of the gender they represent in fact increases discrimination based on the attitude that they have been hired ‘because she is a woman, not because she is good’. Women have the right to be hired because they are competent, good, and qualified. If anything, it is time to finally banish the hypocrisy by which men try to ghettoise the role of women by acknowledging only minor formal benefits, in order simply to lower the level of social problems. I believe in the extraordinary capabilities of female workers and I am certain that with suitable instruments, including incentives for companies, the need to consider maternity benefits in the world of work will no longer discourage hiring women, but in fact be considered a resource for making access to opportunities in the world of work truly equal."@en1
