Give them to the UM
At the University of Montpellier, the international day for women's rights lasts one month, from March 1st to 31st! For its 7th edition, "Donner des Elles à l'UM" invites you to work together to advance gender equality, through actions focused this year on women's bodies.
Like every year, March marks the return of actions around gender equality at the UM. Always in the same spirit of openness alternating relaxation, seriousness and gravity, the women's body will be questioned in the professional as well as in the personal and even political sphere. The event will include a talk by Karen Messing, a specialist in women's health in the workplace, and the screening of "L'événement", a hard-hitting film by Audrey Diwan about the abortion of a young student in the 1960s.
Also on the program this year are short films, street art, contemporary dance, a photo exhibition, music and a selection of documents at BU.

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