L’initiative HeForShe lance la première Semaine des arts

As part of its International Women’s Day commemoration, UN Women is launching HeForShe Arts Week, a new initiative to leverage the arts for gender equality. From March 8-15, 2016, HeForShe and partner institutions across the city of New York will spotlight efforts towards gender equality and women’s rights.

The launch event will live stream from The Public Theater in New York on Tuesday, March 8 at 8:30 a.m. EST / 2:30 p.m. CET.
