TV5MONDE, the French-language channel, will broadcast exclusively from March 1st for one month a new short program dedicated to portraits of influential women in Africa: "Women of Africa in Action."
International Women's Day will thus be celebrated every day in March on TV5MONDE, in addition to March 8th.
Designed by the French company Onyx Consulting, this program has been specially conceived as a gallery of 31 four-minute portraits revealing the journeys of 31 influential women entrepreneurs who, through their initiatives and actions, serve as role models in the development of African economies.
Through these portraits filmed in Marrakech during the 2nd Women in Africa Initiative Global Summit, viewers will meet these inspiring women who are successfully operating in fields as diverse and varied as the arts, finance, technology, agriculture, the environment, education, cosmetics, and health.
A true reflection of a dynamic and diverse Africa that is succeeding, the program "WOMEN OF AFRICA IN ACTION" highlights personalities who are contributing to the economic and cultural emergence of the continent.
A new portrait from "Women of Africa in Action" will be broadcast every day throughout March on TV5MONDE Afrique, on the Afrique digital platform (website and dedicated app), and on all TV5MONDE platforms.
