Qatar Tribune, 10/03/2022
The French Embassy and the French Business Council (FBC), in cooperation with HEC Paris in Qatar, hosted panel discussions with prominent women from Qatar and France, under the theme ‘Break the Bias’.
Sponsored by HEC Paris in Qatar, L’Occitane, Paris Saint-Germain, and TotalEnergies, the women’s event took place on March 9 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, with eight key contributors from Qatar’s business, Education, Culture and Art sectors addressing two panel discussions moderated by Shaheena Janjuha-Jivraj, associate professor at HEC Paris in Qatar and an expert in innovation, leadership and diversity.
“The event was the launchpad for a reimaging of a gender equal world,” said the French Ambassador to Qatar HE Jean-Baptiste Faivre. “The discussions were very deep and fruitful and the interaction with the audience gave an added value to the event, especially after the pandemic restrictions that prevented all sorts of gatherings. I had the occasion to meet amazing women from Qatar today from various domains, ranging formats, to science and innovation, business and engineering. Happy women’s Day to all!”
