Plugings Not Showing In Simcity

Open Letter to the FDP Federal President Dr. Guido Westerwelle, MP

22nd February 2011
fruitless after 24 years of attempts: The commitment is not enough! We demand a quota of 40 percent women in all committees of the Free Democratic Party!

Dear Dr. Westerwelle

the FDP has a problem - too few women!

We, the undersigned members of the "circle Spree - liberal women a quota," the National Association of Liberal Women eV and the FDP welcomed the Federal Executive Board decision dated 7 February 2011 "New Opportunities for Women -. Tapping potentials, achieve fairness" We miss it, but any binding commitment to a specific increase in the proportion of women in the bodies of the FDP.

We note: Since 1987, our party repeatedly called voluntary commitments to increase the proportion of women in committees and parliaments. But since then the proportion of women dropping steadily. We do not see that further Generation of liberal-minded women declining participation opportunities found there.

The female offspring will be discouraged even at elections to local and county boards of elections and delegates and pushed aside by men. Examples are numerous. Originally, liberal-minded voters in this way find less and less liberal role models, arouse their interest and with whom they can identify. As a result, they turn away from us.

We note: Those who reject female rates must demonstrate practical and effective alternatives. Those we miss, because the evidence that there is no fixed requirements in the FDP, the party so far been guilty. Because it is probably that dimap according to a survey by Infratest 52 percent of FDP voters are FOR the female rate (see World on Sunday 13 February 2011).

We note: In the last 24 years of voluntary invocation of the proportion of women among the members of decline. In 1987, he was still 25 percent in 2003, it stood at 23 percent but has since fallen to 22 percent. 30 years ago, the Free Democratic Party was with her women at the head of the German parties, now we have become the rear. When the election results is clear.

Mixed teams are not just a question of justice, they are also a great chance in the competition between parties with each other. Our competitors have been consulted. Many of us liberal women have long, very long believed that only decides the qualification. That has unfortunately proved to be false.

We note: There are already many rates in the FDP - "elector lists," the district lists, country lists of district proportional representation, youth rates, job quotas, etc. In all these areas it held unchallenged for democratically desirable and liberal.

The Berliner Morgenpost wrote in an editorial on 31 January 2011 to the unanimous decision of the Liberal women's quota in Berlin: "So far no one had a better idea of how to . Would prevent the male dominance of Germany, at a disadvantage, as it is for the FDP ... in the Berlin state government is already "

Therefore we demand: more female role models, more participation opportunities for women in the FDP by the introduction of a quota 40 percent women in all committees of the party.
