According to the Law to be Enacted in Spain, the Ratio of Female Individuals in the Public and Private Sectors Will Be Increased

Just days before March 08, International Working Women's Day, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced the law to be enacted in favor of women at the Socialist Party Meeting. According to the law called Equal Representation Law, the ratio of women individuals will be at least 40 percent in both public and private sector organizations. According to the draft law, also known as the Gender Equality Law, it will be mandatory for women to have a ratio of at least 40 percent in voter lists, on the boards of directors of large companies, professional associations, and professional organizations, and the juries of all publicly funded awards. In addition, parties in the political arena will have to nominate equal numbers of male and female candidates in the elections. According to the Equal Representation Law, 40 percent of the boards of directors of all listed companies with more than 250 employees and an annual turnover of more than 50 million Euros will be mandatory.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in a statement that the law to be enacted is a new gender equality law and that this law will ensure more equal representation of women in politics, business, and other areas of public life. "If women represent half of society, half of the political and economic power should be in the hands of women," Sanchez said. he said.
The bill in question is expected to be approved at the cabinet meeting before being discussed in parliament.
This new bill by the left-wing coalition government in Spain is a continuation of a series of steps taken earlier toward establishing gender equality. Parliament passed another law in December, with a transgender rights law, giving women with painful menstrual periods the right to paid leave. Spain thus became the first country in Europe to officially approve menstrual leave.
