Women for ChangeThrough its health and education programs, especially in Africa, the Orange Foundation devotes particular attention to women. This is the second year that the Orange Foundation has joined forces with the Women's Forum and Marie Claire magazine for the Women for Change Award, which recognises humanitarian projects led by women in Africa. The award trains the spotlight on women who have effected change and driven growth, with the goal of enabling them to develop their projects on behalf of women and girls. Five women from Cameroon, Niger, Botswana, Mali and the Democratic Republic of the Congo presented their projects on www.fondationorange.com . From September 15th to October 15th 2014, net users voted for the one they felt was the most important. At the start of the opening dinner, the woman whose project received the most votes from net users will receive 25,000 euros in aid. Using interactive NFC devices at each table, Women's Forum participants can also vote live during the dinner for a second project, which will receive the same amount of aid. The other three candidates will each receive 5,000 euros in aid to keep their projects going. equal opportunities, a priority for the Group under Stephane Richard's leadershipThe Women's Forum is an opportunity to repeat that equal opportunities are a core priority for Orange, along the following lines: to promote access to positions of responsibility for women, with the objective of 35% women in the management committees in 2015 compared with 32% today. to ensure equal pay, in particular by maintaining budgets specifically set up to correct wage gaps should residual discrepancies be detected.
