Europ Assistance’s Post

What an inspiring day at Europ Assistance! We were thrilled to host Nicole ABAR, a former football champion with eight French championship titles and the top scorer in 1983. Nicole is also a highly respected expert and government advisor in gender equality and inclusion. Her conferences are ground-breaking, challenging us all to reflect on the sources of gender (and all forms of) inequality. Nicole’s powerful talk highlighted the persistent gender biases in sports and society, as well as her work with children to combat these stereotypes from the ground up. Her documentaries, such as Passe la balle and La conquête de l’espace, showcase evidence of how gender biases in society undermine individual leadership and self-confidence at early stages of life.   At Europ Assistance, we are deeply committed to diversity and inclusion. Events like these, featuring inspiring figures like Nicole, reinforce our dedication to breaking down barriers and promoting equality. Thank you, Nicole, for your impactful message. Together, we can create a more inclusive world where everyone can thrive! 🌍💪 Watch Nicole's documentary La conquête de l’espace: https://lnkd.in/enGZdQhg #Diversity #Inclusion #GenderEquality #EuropAssistance #BreakingBarriers Nicolas Sinz Anne-Hélène Cousseau Anne-Sophie HOURY JOREZ Edoli Njime-Akwa Florence Jean Inès Bichler Adrianna Marshall Antoine Parisi Véronique Destruel Alessandra Cecchetto Cécile Kossoff
