Women committed to serving women
The Toulouse Fil d’Ariane Club, a Toulouse club created almost 90 years ago, is made up of 27 women from multiple and varied professional backgrounds. Its actions focus on different areas: health (fight against breast cancer, endometriosis, cardiovascular diseases), the environment (protection of the Canal du Midi, help for flood victims), education (study scholarships), fight against violence against women (support for associations such as “À side of women 31″), support for empowerment and entrepreneurship (creation of women’s talent fairs with the spotlight on female creators, conferences held to highlight women who have succeeded in fields as different as digital technology, agriculture or sport). In summary, they are “women serving women”. The first branch of a French club in mainland France was created on May 20, 2026 in the Lot in Gourdon. During an induction ceremony for 5 Lot women by their godmothers from the Toulouse club, the first stone of a future club in the Lot was laid thanks to the support and support of the Toulouse club. A very friendly meal allowed for fruitful discussions with a view to great projects for women.
