Engaged alongside the “Expertes”

The CANAL+ Group is providing financial support for three years to the « Expertes », website, a directory of women specialising in various fields for journalists.

What is Les Expertes ?

The Expertes website, created following a paper directory launched in 2012, brings together 4,000 profiles of experts and provides free access to their contact details to more than 6,000 registered journalists. This is the first free, 100% digital directory of all French and French-speaking women experts. 

This directory is based on the fact that women represent a majority of higher education graduates. However, they are still under-represented among the experts who speak in the media. 

The objective ?

Improving the visibility of women in the public space. To do this, the site has a search engine that allows you to find women experts with specific skills. It offers a video space for each of them, as well as training courses: media training, public speaking, press relations, social networking and responding to online violence. 

CANAL+ is committed to equality between people and against discrimination.
