University of Doha for Science and Technology

The University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) organized a full day of activities to celebrate International Womens Day.

A panel discussion led by the Universitys Applied Research and Innovation and supported by QAPCO entitled "Break The Bias: Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow" took place in the presence of prominent women from the Qatari community.

The panelists shared their experiences about women empowerment and the confidence to lead in a field primarily dominated by men. They also discussed the importance of education in creating assertive women and how perseverance can play a major role in the road to success.

On this occasion, Dr. Salem Al Naemi, UDSTs President said: "University of Doha for Science and Technology supports the core values International Women's Day represents. This event is an opportunity to shed light on the problems that women across the world face, whether at work or in everyday life. It is our duty as an educational institution to support women and help build future leaders that close the gender gap and work towards equality in their organizations. I wish to thank every woman in UDSTs community and all women who are forging their way through and making a difference despite all challenges."

The Universitys Student Engagement department organized a womens market, where female entrepreneurs many of whom are UDST students and alumni from across the country were able to showcase their work and interact with the UDST community during a special "Meet and Greet". The University also hosted a number of organizations that support women in Qatar such as Wifaq, Aman, Qwea, Al Dana Girls Center, Women of Qatar, and Doha Girls Center affiliated to Ministry of Youth and Sports.
