Cabinet ministers can no longer continue burying their heads in the sand when it comes to gender equality issues as pressure amounts from the EU to establish gender quotas in the boardroom and politics, said MP Marianne Mikko.

If we don’t want to fall under criticism in the EU, more women should be given the opportunity to be included in high level decision-making positions, Mikko, who is also a former member of the European Parliament, told Äripäev.
