In celebration of the upcoming International Day of the Girl, Monaco’s Town Hall has unveiled an exhibition featuring the reflections of children aged six to 12 on gender equality, alongside the announcement of a new initiative to support young girls in the Principality.

The opening took place on Monday morning in the presence of Mayor Georges Marsan, Deputy Mayor Chloé Boscagli-Leclercq, and Céline Cottalorda, Interministerial Delegate for Women’s Rights, as well as members of the Communal Council, institutional representatives and local associations.

The display, now installed in the Town Hall atrium, showcases the words of 18 children from the Mini-Club who participated in a creative workshop led by the Town Hall and the Committee for the Promotion and Protection of Women’s Rights. The initiative, now in its third year, offers insight into how Monaco’s youngest citizens perceive gender equality. It will remain on view until 13th October.

During the event, the Town Hall also announced the extension of its free period product programme to key municipal sites frequented by young people. The project, initially launched at Pavillon Bosio in 2022, is being expanded in partnership with SheCanHeCan, led by Vibeke Thomsen, and has been recognised by the FIA Formula E Better Futures Fund.
