While the process of the constitutional Convention in itself may represent a wide consultative and participatory exercise aimed at inclusion and dialogue, the involvement of women participants is relatively small and low-level. This raises the possibility of a democratic deficit in the process of EU constitutional reform. Yet, with the question of parity, quotas and gender mainstreaming high on the political agenda of a number of member states, it is rather surprising that the issue of women's participation (or lack of it) in the reform process was not more effectively highlighted in the Convention. Beyond the fact that women - like men - are entitled to be politically active and present in national and European decision-making processes, arguments may also be advanced to suggest the positive benefits of a proportional representation of women. Female representatives can bring to democratic decision-making procedures different life experiences from those of their male counterparts and may also display different attitudes towards the process itself in terms of discussion, conciliation and negotiation strategies
