Women politics

For many years, Motschmann advocated voluntary commitment to implement a higher proportion of women on supervisory boards of companies in Germany. In February 2011 she stated that if after ten years of voluntary work there were still no visible changes, then one simply had to state that the project had failed. Therefore, she speaks out in favor of the statutory regulation of a quota for women in company supervisory boards in the private sector.

Since 2009 Motschmann has been calling for women to take part in the traditional Schaffermahlzeit in Bremen, where not only captains but also leading personalities from Bremen companies and their guests are represented. In the 21st century, the exclusion of women on such and comparable occasions is an anachronism . For the first time, female guests were invited to the 471st Schaffermahlzeit in 2015 by a resolution by Haus Seefahrt “as high-ranking, external representatives of companies, countries and institutes”.
