Women and girls continue to experience discrimination and violence in all parts of the world. Gender equality is a fundamental human right and the foundation of a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Universities must promote women’s access to the studies they offer, especially those in which it has been shown that there is a gender gap, and they must support their academic and professional development.
