As part of Monaco’s plans for International Women’s Rights Day on 8th March, a ‘Speed Mentoring’ event aimed at empowering young women and girls through direct engagement with successful female entrepreneurs is to be held at the Espace Léo Ferré. 

Organised within the context of the PowHer event on International Women’s Rights Day, the mentoring event for girls aged 11 to 25 will be taking place from 3pm to 5pm.

The event is being orchestrated by SheCanHeCan and the Femmes Chefs d’Entreprises de Monaco association with the support of the Principality’s Committee for Women’s Rights.

The ultimate aim of this part of the PowHer initiative aims to connect young girls and women with female industry leaders through direct contact, as well as highlight women’s achievements and facilitate gender equality discussions.
