Five leading women scientists and 15 promising young researchers were honored at an event celebrating the L’Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science program – and L’Oreal announced its new For Women in Science Manifesto.

Jean-Paul Agon, Chairman and CEO of L’Oreal and Chairman of the L’Oreal Foundation, along with Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO, explained that the Manifesto aims to tackle the under-representation of women in the sciences. It was signed by each guest present at the event, which took place at the Sorbonne University in Paris.

Agon said, “Collective strength is what we want to see emerge tonight from our Manifesto. Beyond the scientific and institutional communities, we want to give everyone the chance to sign the For Women in Science Manifesto and join the cause.”

The #ForWomenInScience Manifesto

1. Encourage girls to explore scientific career paths.

2. Break down the barriers that prevent women scientists from pursuing long term careers in research.

3. Prioritise women’s access to senior positions and leadership positions in the sciences.

4. Celebrate with the general public the contribution that women scientists make to scientific progress and to society.

5. Ensure gender equality through participation and leadership in symposiums and scientific commissions, such as conferences, committees and board meetings.

6. Promote mentoring and networking for young scientists to enable them to plan and develop careers that meet their expectations.
