Cartooning for Peace is presenting its exhibition “Draw me Gender Equality” at the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs to mark International Women’s Rights Day on 8 March. The exhibition retraces, with humour and commitment, the course of a lifetime: from birth to old age, it addresses the challenges and persistent problems of gender inequality, and shows the long struggle of women for equal rights.
Thanks to the support of the Délégation à la Solidarité et à l’Engagement and the initiative of the Department’s gender equality advisers, the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs is installing the Cartooning for Peace exhibition “Draw me Gender Equality” on its premises throughout March 2025.
This travelling exhibition is on display from 4 to 7 March 2025 in the hall of the Ministerial Conference Centre (CCM) in Convention, from 8 to 14 March in La Courneuve, from 17 to 21 March at the Quai d’Orsay, in the Delamare room, and from 24 to 31 March in Nantes, in Breil IV.
On 4 March 2025, the exhibition was opened by the Secretary General, Ms Anne-Marie Descôtes, in the presence of Mr Etienne de Gonneville (Director of Human Resources), Mr Jean-Pierre Asvazadourian (Senior Official for Equal Rights and Diversity), Ms Muriel Soret (Delegate for Solidarity and Commitment) and Eric Truant (Cartoonist), a member of Cartooning for Peace.
Truant (France) also led a workshop for ministry staff on the exhibition and the profession of press cartooning.
