About
As women play an active and vital role in various sectors, and the growing interest in the countries of the world in general, and the developed countries in the establishment of specialized centers for documentation, information and studies in the field of women, the need to establish a Center for Women’s Studies is emerged.
In 2013, Hadhramout University established the Women’s Center (WC) to be one of its specialized centers.
WC aims to provide more support to women in various fields in order to utilize their capabilities in developing and building society.
The Center seeks to cooperate with universities and scientific centers specialized in studies and research, as well as with Arab and international governmental and non-governmental organizations and information networks to support its activities. That’s in addition to provide information that will contribute to the development of policies at all levels, and provide support and technical assistance to non-governmental organizations and researchers and specialists.
