Fatima Al Gazal, one of four women running in Qatar's municipal elections next week, said that women could win seats if they are provided with a "level playing field."
"There is no doubt that quota will help more women to become members of the Central Municipal Council," she said. "However, I think instead of giving such a favour to women it would be better to create awareness in the society for recognising Qatari women's abilities and providing them a level playing field for winning membership in the Council through free and fair elections," she told Qatar Tribune daily.
