Give them to the UM

At the University of Montpellier, International Women's Rights Day lasts a whole month, from March 1 to 31! 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.

As every year, March marks the return of gender equality initiatives at UM. In the same spirit of openness, alternating between relaxation, seriousness, and gravity, women's bodies will be examined in the professional, personal, and even political spheres. Highlights include a talk by Karen Messing, a specialist in women's health in the workplace, and a screening of "L'événement," Audrey Diwan's powerful film about a young student's abortion 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 the university library.
