“She wants a family, so she’ll never be able to have a career.”   Unfortunately, this is just one of the many biases holding women in science back.   Fondation L’Oréal invited Suzanne Faure-Dupuy, tenured researcher at CNRS, and Anna Heymann, project manager in charge of our Girls in Science program, to confront this belief. Together with our partners, we stand with all women—today and every day.   #ForWomenInScience #WomenInScience

"Women are not natural leaders.”   Unfortunately, this is just one of the many outdated biases still holding women back. Equality is far from a given.   For International Women’s Day, Fondation L’Oréal invited our teams and partners to confront some of these harmful biases. Challenging them is a first step toward real change.   Together with our partners, we stand with all women—today and every day.   #IWD2025 #internationalwomensday

Women scientists are leading ground-breaking research across the world.   For 27 years, the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science program has been paving the way for future generations in science — empowering women scientists to break barriers and drive innovation.   By accelerating careers and tackling obstacles, the program ensures women scientists can fully contribute to solving the world’s biggest challenges.   Because the world needs science and science needs women.    Discover 27 years of impact ⬇️  #WomenInScience #FWIS

Today marks International Day of Women and Girls in Science – a moment to celebrate the vital contributions of women in science and the hope the next generation represents! ✨   While women scientists devote their lives to solving the world's greatest challenges, they still represent only one-third of researchers globally, and even fewer hold positions of leadership.   For 27 years, the Fondation L’Oréal and UNESCO's For Women in Science program has championed over 4,400 female scientists across 140 countries, celebrating their achievements and fostering a more inclusive scientific community.   Let's continue to inspire the next generation of women and girls to thrive in science!   Because the world needs science. And science needs women. #WomenInScience #FWIS
