Just a month to go before POWHER day on 8 March 2025!

The Women’s Rights Committee will celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March with an event organised in conjunction with its partners.

Called POWHER, the event will take place between 10 am and 8 pm at the Espace Léo Ferré on Saturday 8 March. The theme for 2025 will be the image and representation of women in the media (films, advertising, video games, art, etc.).

At the event, the public will be able to check out some exhibitions, a “gaming” area, a cosplay workshop, an escape game and some performances for all the family.

“The day is designed to be both fun and educational,” explains Céline Cottalorda, the Women’s Rights Officer. “We want to show how the image of women has changed over time, and how society is moving towards more equality. We are also keen to communicate important messages while having a good time,” she adds.

Audrey Dana, patron

Actress and director Audrey Dana will be the event’s patron. To kick off the day, she will take part in a roundtable on the representation of women in arts and the media. She will be joined by Kayane, the streamer and e-sports champion, who will also host the gaming space; Harmony Larcher, the former cosplayer and now fashion designer; and Toby Wright, the artist and women’s rights ambassador.

In addition to Toby Wright, the Committee can also count on the involvement of its other women’s rights ambassadors:

• Cédric Biscay has designed the event poster: “I wanted a hard-hitting visual that would attract a wide audience. The use of pop culture references to encourage young people to get involved and convey the Committee’s strong values was a natural choice.” He also contributed his expertise to the organisation of the roundtable and the gaming and cosplay areas, three of the day’s flagship attractions.
• Hassan de Monaco selected three artists from the new generation for the comedy performance set to close the day: Amandine Lourdel, Basile and Myriam Barouk.
• Anthony Alberti, alias Mr One Teas, designed the photobooth, which will allow visitors to take home a unique and original memento of their involvement in the day.

There will also be other activities to discover on the day. Entry is free and open to everyone.
