Motivation for equivariant sheaves?

Hello everyone;

i'm looking for a motivation for equivariant sheaves (see http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/equivariant+sheaf) ~ Why are we interested in them?

More explicitely: Can I think of G-equivariant sheaves on a space X as a quotient of the category of sheaves (by some action? in a more general sense) by G?
