Empowering Women Through Education: Riphah’s Commitment to Gender Equity
Education is one of the most powerful tools for achieving gender equity. At Riphah International University, we believe in creating an inclusive environment that supports, inspires, and uplifts women to excel in their academic and professional journeys.
1. Women-Centered Scholarships
Riphah offers several merit- and need-based scholarships specifically for female students. These scholarships aim to reduce financial barriers and encourage higher enrollment and retention of women in higher education, especially in male-dominated fields like engineering and IT.
2. Leadership Development Programs
Workshops, mentorship circles, and training seminars are organized regularly to empower female students with leadership skills, public speaking confidence, and career planning tools.
3. Safe Campus Environment
With separate campuses for women, strict anti-harassment policies, and a gender-sensitive support system, Riphah ensures that female students learn in a secure and respectful space that nurtures growth and confidence.
“Educating women is the first step toward building a balanced society. At Riphah, we are proud to champion this cause through action, not just words.”
Dr. Mehwish Tariq, Gender Equity Lead – Riphah
As Pakistan continues to move toward gender-balanced development, Riphah International University stands committed to being a catalyst of change. Empowered women empower societies — and that empowerment starts with education.
