The questions addressed by gender studies are, in my view, extremely relevant and important today. Pursuing this Certification was a key complement to my Master's studies, as it was essential for me to integrate a gender perspective into my learning at Sciences Po and to obtain formal recognition of this specialization alongside my degree.

Shreya Parikh’s course Constructing and Contesting Gender in North Africa had a particularly strong impact on me. It was instrumental in helping me develop a more intersectional understanding of gender issues while grounding these reflections in a geographical area that I had not previously had the opportunity to study.

At the moment, I am still exploring professional opportunities. However, the courses I took as part of the Certification confirmed my desire to work on gender and equality issues globally, and I hope to find a position that will allow me to contribute to these important topics.
