Field and/or Present Occupation |
Starting
my career in an advertising agency, I practised as a barrister in
the most renowned law firm dealing with High Court cases. Then, I
worked in a important business law firm in Paris. I also specialized
in the rights of non profit charities. Now, I work as an independent
lawyer and mediator to balance family and professional activities.

| Skills
and experience from the last 10 years which qualify her for this position |
Married,
with 3 children, 18, 23, 26, I'm 53. I have been involved in NGOs
since I took over the responsibility of my high school UNESCO club.
Since 2000, I have been a board officer of a charity active in youth
protection with 800 employees and a member of the local government
in Versailles.
As the daughter of an IFUW representative to UNESCO, I am well acquainted
with IFUW. I joined the French Association AFFDU, in 1990 and a year
later, was elected to the Board, soon Vice-President then President
until 2005. At Perth, I was the head of the French delegation. As
a member of the IFUW group of Constitutionnal advisers, I worked recently
on our status.
Since its creation in 1994, on behalf of AFFDU I have been deeply
involved in a network gathering the major women's organizations in
France : it aims at enhancing women's participation in economic, political
and social fields. Active lobbying successfully resulted in the modification
of the French Constitution and in the Parliament's vote to pass laws
both in favour of positive discrimination in politics as well as gender
equality in the workplace. For these actions, I was decorated by the
President of the French Republic.
Likewise, in collaboration with other European and French organizations,
I fought to have equality between men and women included in the European
Constitution. I have been lobbying for many years in favour of CEDAW.
As a strong supporter of human rights, I am sure that the key for
a peacefull and democratic world is linked to a quality education
for girls and boys alike wich leads to an equality in rights and facts
between women and men all over the globe. |
