In order to “stability and efficiency”the Women’s Assembly, Pluri’Elles or Women of the Territories want the minister, who arrived at the ministry in May 2022, to continue her missions. “All is not perfect for women, far from it, writes this collective. But, in recent months, real progress has been made, which must bear fruit, provided that it is supported without fail and without disruption.

In their forum, these organizations challenge Elisabeth Borne and public opinion. “What company would change its CEO every year?”they ask.
