Women's Forum Community

ABOUT US

The Women's Forum promotes actions that ensure that all educational systems act as levers for equality and gender equality throughout the world. For each school textbook that does not educate for equality, one more child reaches adulthood deprived of the essential values that we defend.

I strongly believe that the best way to reach the right gender and diversity balance is to have some clear, firm objectives with ambitious numbers. This is how we are achieving our goals at Publicis Groupe: a strategy approved at board level and executed with strong quantitative objectives carefully checked on a regular basis.
