Give them to the UM
At the University of Montpellier, International Women's Rights Day lasts a whole month, from March 1 to 31! Now in itsninth year, "Donner des Elles à l'UM" invites you to continue working together to advance gender equality.
The University of Montpellier has been awarded the Afnor Alliance label for "gender equality and diversity," recognizing its solid and long-standing work in these two areas, which are at the heart of our commitments. While our actions and efforts continue throughout the year, March marks the return of shared moments, both fun and serious, focused on equality.
This year, we will be focusing in particular on... men! We will be raising a number of questions: how can we raise boys so that they do not become sexist? Can men be true allies who support the feminist cause? Or are they false friends, or perhaps even, as one of our guests suggests, potentially "accomplices to a scam"? We encourage you all to come and participate in the debate and to continue to take action, individually or collectively, to promote greater equality.

March 8: International Women's Rights Day
Officially recognized by the United Nations in 1977, International Women's Rights Day has its origins in the struggles of the early 20th century, when female workers and suffragettes fought for better working conditions and the right to vote, which was not granted in France until 1944.
For nearly 40 years, this international day of demonstrations has been an opportunity to take stock of the situation of women around the world. A day of struggle for women's rights, it remains a hot topic.
