I had a friend in college who's father was an engineer at Boeing. His father worked in a group of 50 engineers with 10 specific leads. Out of these 50 engineers 6 were female, but it was mandated that half of the leads had to be female, so 83.3% of females became leads and only 11.4% of the men had that same opportunity.

This is an example of quotas in practice.
