SDG 5: Gender Equality

American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) demonstrates its commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 5 by fostering gender equality through various initiatives. AIUB systematically tracks women's applications, acceptance, and participation rates, ensuring inclusive access to education. To support women in underrepresented fields, AIUB organizes seminars such as “Women in Engineering”, encouraging self-promotion and confidence-building for female students.

The university promotes women’s empowerment through targeted outreach programs, including partnerships with organizations like BRAC for initiatives such as “Shomotontro” on gender justice. On-campus events like International Women’s Day celebrations highlight women’s contributions and promote awareness of gender issues.

AIUB also provides policies for non-discrimination and maternity benefits, ensuring a supportive environment for female students, faculty, and staff. Additionally, childcare facilities are available for both students and staff, enabling mothers to balance their academic and professional responsibilities.

Through research, AIUB addresses critical gender issues, including publications on topics like “Women’s Rights in Bangladesh” and the impact of remittances on women’s empowerment. By fostering an inclusive academic culture, AIUB contributes to reducing gender disparities, promoting leadership opportunities, and empowering women to thrive in their respective fields.
