Did you know that only 28% of engineers in France are women? The association Elles bougent is committed to changing this reality by breaking down gender stereotypes and encouraging young girls to consider careers in industrial and technological sectors.
Founded in 2006 by Marie-Sophie Pawlak, a passionate and visionary engineer, Elles bougent was born from a simple fact: companies struggle to recruit female talent in such fields, still too often seen as male-dominated. To reverse this trend, Marie-Sophie Pawlak brought together companies, engineering schools, and dedicated mentors to show young girls that these careers are not only accessible but also fulfilling.
Today, thanks to Elles bougent, thousands of middle school, high school, and university students are discovering the many opportunities available to them in scientific and technical fields. Through inspiring events, testimonials, and meetings, the association works to break down barriers and spark new vocations.
A big round of applause to Elles bougent for their ongoing commitment to gender diversity and for their impact on the future of young girls!
