Women children and youth directorate director

Background

The issue of women, children, youth as well as HIV and disabled people has been given a lot of attention by the government, among which our university is focusing on coordinating the issues of youth, HIV/AIDS prevention and care and support for the disabled. In this process, female students, leaders, administrative staff and teachers in the university will work extensively by designing various strategies and preparing plans to increase their participation in the university's activities and ensure their benefit. As shown, in 2011E.C, by opening a day care centre in the campus and providing services, a lot of work has been done for women to be effective in their work. In addition to making female students successful in their studies, various supports are provided in the form of training, tutorials, economic support, and mentorship. In order to create a comfortable environment for disabled students in the university and enable them to be successful in their studies, it works by establishing a disabled care and support centre to provide them with various services, including free photocopying services, educational materials, financial support, computer lab services, and basic areas where disabled students can move around the campus. Also, efforts will be made to make the students effective in their studies by providing them with psychological counselling and various trainings due to the psychological pressure they are under. In general, our directorate will plan and implement the multi-faceted works of our institution, and will ensure that they are included in the general works of our institution, and will monitor their implementation.
