At Middlesex University Dubai, we are proud to sign up to the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), developed and disseminated by the UN Global Compact and to commit our support to gender equality in line with SDG no 5 and UAE’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Universities play a leading role in promoting the universal values and principles of the UN Global Compact, shaping the skills and mind-sets of future leaders in business, academia, technology, innovation entrepreneurship and politics. As such, we aspire to make significant contributions to business ethics, corporate social responsibility, inclusive and stable labour markets, equality, inclusion and human rights that lay the foundations of a prosperous and sustainable society. For Middlesex University Dubai promoting and advocating for gender equality and women empowerment is a strategic priority reflected in our corporate structure, our leadership, our initiatives, as well as through our pedagogic practice, research output, knowledge exchange, community engagement and industry outreach.
