Overview
A few months ago, the French High Commission for Strategy and Planning published a report highlighting a worrying setback among young people regarding gender stereotypes. Unfortunately, we know that these stereotypes contribute to the construction of gender inequalities, inequalities that in turn fuel stereotypes.
While finance has made notable progress in recent decades, overall, women remain underrepresented, particularly in management positions.
The IWN is pleased to invite you to an interactive evening where women will share their personal experiences on gender stereotyping, and engage in open discussion on how to address it. Their journeys have undoubtedly not always been smooth sailing, but their perseverance and competence have been rewarded with recognition from higher management.
Prior to this discussion, Béatrice Layan will provide an overview of gender equality in the banking sector.
Finally, Corentine Poilvet-Clediere will share her own experience and her commitment to the charitable sector, particularly education, which is recognized as one of the key levers for ending inequality.
The IWN provides an impartial and open forum to encourage, support and inspire women at all stages of their careers and to promote the goal of gender equality in the financial markets. This network aims to foster connections between colleagues of different generations and seniority levels, thereby contributing to fostering inclusion throughout the sector. The IWN also actively welcomes participation from all genders and ethnicities, recognizing that broad participation is essential to achieving positive and lasting change.
Il y a quelques mois, le Haut-Commissariat français à la stratégie et au plan publiait un rapport mettant en lumière un retour en arrière préoccupant chez les jeunes au sujet des stéréotypes femmes-hommes. On sait malheureusement que ces stéréotypes participent à la construction des inégalités entre les sexes, inégalités qui nourrissent à leur tour les stéréotypes.
Si la finance a fait des progrès notables ces dernières décennies, globalement, les femmes demeurent encore sous-représentées, particulièrement aux postes de direction.
L’IWN vous invite à une soirée interactive où des femmes viendront parler de leur expérience personnelle et échanger librement. Leur parcours n’a sans doute pas toujours été un long fleuve tranquille mais leur persévérance ainsi que leur compétence ont été récompensés par une reconnaissance hiérarchique.
Préalablement à cette discussion, Béatrice Layan dressera un panorama sur l’égalité professionnelle entre les hommes et les femmes au sein du secteur bancaire.
Enfin, Corentine Poilvet-Clediere nous fera part de sa propre expérience ainsi que de son engagement dans le domaine caritatif, plus particulièrement celui de l’éducation qui est reconnu comme l’un des leviers essentiels pour mettre fin aux inégalités.
L’IWN offre un forum impartial et ouvert pour encourager, soutenir et inspirer les femmes à toutes les étapes de leur carrière et pour promouvoir l’objectif d’égalité des sexes au sein des marchés financiers. Ce réseau a pour objectif de favoriser les liens entre collègues de différentes générations et niveaux d'ancienneté, contribuant ainsi à favoriser l'inclusion dans l'ensemble du secteur. L'IWN accueille également activement la participation de tous les genres et de toutes les ethnies, reconnaissant qu'une large participation est essentielle pour parvenir à un changement positif et durable.
