Researchers have lately discovered the fact that quota systems are made to give black women who are underprivileged priority. Yet, the whole gain goes to women from advantageous families. Some of the studies show that quotas are usually occupied by women who belong to a high socioeconomic stratum. This process, known as “elite capture,” basically negates the validity of quotas. Furthermore, the emphasis on numerical equality can blur the necessity for equal treatment. As proven by the reservation policy of Indian women in panchayats, the state with a large proportion of women in local authority, it does not always result in a significantly better ability of women to participate in decision-making or empowerment. One needs to look at the whole of the problem to address it. This refers to quotas that should be established and, if required, giving learning disability programs, women’s education success programs, and child care to women from underprivileged societies. Over and above that, it is very important to the creation of a level playing field for all women so that long-held gender stereotypes and biases are confronted head-on. The effective use of quota systems in gender equality can be realized by tackling its root causes.
