François Alabrune

Reducing gender inequality and improving the wellbeing of women and girls will make the world a better place to live, also for men.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

I will promote equality by supporting the equal participation of women in embassy events, by ensuring equality and diversity of profiles in recruitment, and by mentoring every year a woman trainee, helping her empowerment as a diplomatic or legal professional.
I will use my platform as Ambassador and Permanent Representative to promote France's feminist diplomacy, which is committed to ensuring that the objective of gender equality is integrated into all international issues: reducing inequalities and promoting sustainable development, peace and security, defending and promoting fundamental rights, and addressing climate and economic issues. The aim is to advocate in particular for the defence of women's rights, their inclusion, a "zero tolerance" policy towards violence against women, and access to justice and reparation for victims.
