5.3.4 Does your university as a body encourage applications by women in subjects where they are underrepresented?
Al Maarefa University actively promotes women’s participation in fields where they are traditionally underrepresented, such as STEM, through comprehensive outreach efforts. These include organizing awareness programs, career workshops, and interactive sessions in schools and communities to inspire young women to pursue these disciplines.
The university also collaborates with government agencies, NGOs, and educational institutions to participate in regional and national campaigns that promote gender inclusivity in education. By leveraging partnerships, Al Maarefa ensures that women receive tailored guidance, mentorship, and resources to build confidence and access opportunities in these critical fields.
Internally, Al Maarefa fosters an inclusive academic culture by offering mentorship programs, scholarships, and targeted support to female students entering underrepresented areas. These initiatives reflect the university’s commitment to reducing gender disparities and empowering women to thrive academically and professionally in diverse sectors.
