In this edition, France is gearing up for the #GenerationEquality forum to be held this year in Mexico City and Paris. We talk to the event’s secretary-general, Delphine O, on what this international gathering is hoping to achieve. Also less than a quarter of mayoral candidates standing in the French local elections are female but the French city of Nantes is bucking the trend. Plus the film industry in France finds itself in the middle of a firestorm after film director, Roman Polanski, who’s facing rape accusations, wins best director at the French equivalent of the Oscars.
