For International Women's Day, the Paris office and Shearman#Elles decided to participate in International Women’s Day’s #ChooseToChallenge theme and call out gender bias and inequality, question stereotypes, and commit to forge an inclusive world.

This event supports the firm’s diversity and inclusion program and was organized by our Paris office’s Shearman#Elles, an initiative for women empowerment that also includes pro bono legal and policy work to support equality between women and men and to promote equal opportunities for all.

Marked annually on March 8, International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
