Give them to the UM
At the University of Montpellier, International Women's Rights Day lasts a month, from March 1 to 31! For its 9th edition, "Donner des Elles à l'UM" invites you to continue working together to advance gender equality.
The University of Montpellier has been awarded the Alliance "égalité femmes-hommes et diversité" label by Afnor, rewarding solid, long-term work in these two fields, which are at the heart of our commitments. While our actions and efforts continue throughout the year, the month of March marks the return of shared moments, both playful and serious, around the theme of equality.
This year, we're focusing on... men! Raising a few questions: how do you educate a boy so that he doesn't become sexist? Can men be true allies who support the feminist cause? Or could they be false friends, or even, as one of our guests suggests, potentially "accomplices in a scam"? We encourage you, all of you, to join in the debate, and not to stop acting individually or collectively for greater equality.

March 8: International Women's Rights Day
Officialized by the United Nations in 1977, International Women's Rights Day has its origins in the struggles of the early 20th century, when women workers and suffragettes fought for better working conditions, and for the right to vote, which was not obtained in France until 1944.
For almost 40 years, this international day of events has provided an opportunity to take stock of the situation faced by women around the world. A day of struggle for women's rights, it remains a burning issue.
