Gender Expert

Gender refers to the power relations issued from the socially constructed categories of “women” and “men”. It is a powerful theoretical tool and part of international human rights’ agenda.

As a researcher, I study how gender shapes women’s lives and in particular their access to healthcare.

As a Gender expert and consultant, I work with NGOs and international cooperation actors in integrating gender at every step of their projects.

As a trainer, I provide workshops to prevent sexism within corporations. Using the tools of social sciences, I also offer a Gender Diagnosis and design an action plan tailored to your needs.

Some of my work related to gender include,

Training : Preventing and acting in the face of sexism, for all the managers of the company Skello (French)
