Employees have their say

Marion Lambert,
France

"I am deeply committed to intersectional and inclusive feminism and to ensuring that all people who experience gender-based violence—women, sexual and gender minorities, people of all ethnicities and nationalities, and people from all social classes—are heard and that their human rights are respected."

Kaya Sy,
Senegal

"The right to control one's own body is a fundamental part of my vision of equality. Freedom of choice must be defended. It is a key issue in achieving equal relationships. In the West African context, this struggle must be nurtured and reactivated."

Priscille Bansé,
Burkina Faso

Working at Equipop gives me the opportunity to put my skills to use in causes that are important to me, such as gender equality and women's rights. I particularly enjoy contributing to the implementation of concrete projects that have a direct impact on women's rights and working with a passionate and committed team.
