AIUB Women Forum (AWF)

AIUB Women Forum aspires to empower women at all levels of decision-making with education, entrepreneurship and leadership. This Forum aims to rejuvenate people, provide opportunities for them to develop and instill faith in women. This involves not only women aspiring to the top of the corporate ladder but also women at the uppermost of the social ladder. The Forum brings together women's rights activists, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), women's organizations and influential female entrepreneurs. AWF emphasized the role of women in exploring and resolving barriers to opportunities in education, industry and political leadership, including women's health, spousal abuse and sexual assault. The AWF foresees a world in which equality for all is more than a slogan, but a fact, and human rights are recognized and secured. All AIUB women, including students, faculty and administrative staff are members of this Forum, which organizes various awareness programs on women's rights and empowerment.
