Education
Schiappa was educated at Lycée Claude-Bernard high school where she obtained her Baccalauréat. She studied Geography at the Sorbonne for a year.[2] She took evening class in communications and earned a bachelor's degree validated by the University of Grenoble.[3]
Professional career
In 2007, Schiappa started working at the advertising company Euro RSCG, the same year she founded the online magazine "Les Pasionarias". In 2008 she set up a blog for working mothers called Maman travaille (Mummy works), following the blog success she set up a support network for working mothers to put together proposals for changes in politics. After the birth of her first daughter, she left advertising and began writing novels on the theme of motherhood and feminism, some of the most successful books were: Letters To My Uterus and Who Are The Rapists.[4] She moved to Le Mans in northwestern France.[5]
Political career
In 2014 Schiappa was elected deputy mayor of the city of Le Mans, in charge of gender equality and discriminations, a position she held until 2017. In 2015 she met Emmanuel Macron, then minister of the economy, at a technology event, gifting him her book Plafond de mère,[4] a few weeks later he asked her to participate in a conference about gender equality and politics.[5]
In 2014 she Co-founded the Movement of French Elected Officials for Equality (MEFE). From 2016 to 2017, Shiappa became delegate advisor to technological innovation and economic attractiveness of the territory. In 2016 she was also an advisor to Laurence Rossignol (Minister of Families, Childhood and Woman's rights) in the government of Prime Minister Manuel Valls.
In 2016–17, Schiappa was delegate to the department of Sarthe in charge of gender equality for La République En Marche! as well as member of its national Investiture Committee.
Secretary of State for Gender Equality
In 2017, Marlène Schiappa became Secretary of State for Gender Equality attached to the Prime Minister.[6]
In 2018, she successfully introduced a law to deter predatory remarks and street harassment, such as wolf-whistling.[7][8] In 2018, Schiappa proposed a change to the French civil code to introduce a ban on corporal punishment; the bill called "anti-smacking bill" in the media was approved on 30 November 2018.[9]
On the eve of International Women's Day in 2018, Schiappa appeared, alongside Roselyne Bachelot among others, in a performance of Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues at the Bobino theater in Paris.[10]
In 2019, amid revelations of the Jeffrey Epstein affair, Schiappa and fellow cabinet member child welfare minister, Adrien Taquet called for an investigation into the activities in France of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein "so that his death does not deny his victims the justice they are entitled to".[11][12]
In November 2019, Schiappa proposed that foreigners convicted of sexual crimes and violence against women would be deported. This proposal was criticised by some feminists who called it "feminationalism" and unequal punishment based on nationality,[13] and also by a legal expert who said that such measures already existed since 1970 for serious crimes including the worst sexual crimes.[14]
Minister Delegate in charge of Citizenship
On 6 July 2020, Schiappa was appointed Minister Delegate in charge of Citizenship, attached to the Minister of the Interior, in the government of Prime Minister Jean Castex.[15]
In September 2020 Marlène Schiappa announced that Foreign Covid workers will be fast-tracked to obtain French citizenship.[16]
