What is it about?
The imbalance in gender equality in education and work in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Middle East region. Despite highly educated women in the labor force, their recruitment, retention, and promotion to middle and senior levels remains relatively low. We create multimedia resources to address this problem of gender equality at the Virtual Center for Women & Leadership (MENA) (https://www.wiluae.com/).
