International Women's Rights Day: UEMF places positive discrimination at the heart of its concerns

For this International Women's Rights Day, Euromed University of Fes, represented by the President Prof. Mostapha Bousmina, welcomes the commendable efforts the University is making to ensure that all female students and staff have a healthy environment where equality and kindness prevail.

Prof. Mostapha Bousmina took this opportunity to highlight the contribution and commitment of women at UEMF to the advancement of the university. Thanks to their ambition and dedication, they now hold key positions that shape society: they are leaders, influential women and sources of proposals. 

Driven by values of respect for the person, equal opportunities and social inclusion, UEMF is concretely working to promote gender equality at several levels. In this regard, the University won the call for applications launched on March 8, 2021 by AUF, with the support of UN Women, to be part of the international consortium of francophone universities on gender equality (EFH). Today, this consortium of universities from various regions of the world works hand in hand and commits to implementing collective solutions and actions to advance gender equality on campuses.

On this occasion, Prof. Mostapha Bousmina recalled the contribution of women to the development of sciences, and more particularly through the ICESCO Chair “Women in Science: AI and Futures”, led by Prof. Maha GMIRA, Professor and AI expert. In the same vein, Prof. Mostapha Bousmina announced the creation of a new chair for women in architecture, which will be hosted at UEMF and whose direction will be entrusted to Prof. Iman Benkirane, architect, PhD in urbanism, professor-researcher in urban design, landscape and territorial planning and dean of the Euromed School of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (EMADU), an institution of Euromed University of Fes.
