The exhibition presents the stories of 10 courageous and inspiring women who have contributed, each in their own way, to changing mentalities and combating gender stereotypes, in different cities and towns in Algeria, Belgium, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Palestine and Turkey.
Under the high patronage of the President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron & Ambassador Karim Amellal, Interministerial Delegate for the Mediterranean, the Forum of Mediterranean Worlds will bring together civil society actors from the Mediterranean basin around unifying and positive themes:
