#JamaisSansElles Senators

June 2018

The Senate in an Age of Equality

After doing so in the National Assembly of France, #JamaisSansElles (“Never Without Her”) is making its way into the ranks of the ‘upper chamber’. Following in the footsteps of the members of parliament who are now signatories of the #JamaisSansElles pledge, male and female senators are declaring their support and adopting on their own behalf the Association’s code of conduct, aimed at promoting the equal recognition and involvement of women in all sectors of society, by resolving to:

« Never hold or participate in conferences or round tables with two or more speakers that do not include at least one female speaker. »

We are happy to count on their feminist and humanist commitment through the concrete actions they carry out in the discharge of their mandates.
