Quota vs Equality of Opportunity

Only 10% women in the Parliament. All democracies, including advanced nations have required strong measures to get women decisively into politics.

Why not make it compulsory for the political parties to give women 33% tickets, instead of rotations in constituencies (equality of opportunity) ?
-- Political parties may then field women candidates against strong opponents, where they are bound to loose.
