Joséphine Goube, “treat everyone on their merits, not where they are from”

Revealing

27/11/2023

Laura Taouchanov
When she was an international student in the UK, Joséphine observed the unfair consequences of immigration laws on foreign women. Ever since, she dreams that one day, their passports will not determine their destinies. This is the reason why she created Sistech, dedicated to train, advise and mentor refugee women to value their skills in the european job market.

In co-production with the L’Oréal Fund for Women, “Revealing” tells the stories of those who, every day, contribute to changing society.
