Gender Equality

Gender equality has advanced significantly since the establishment of International Women’s Day. Universities have also played a beneficial role in this journey in a variety of ways. The fundamental idea of gender equality is that persons of all genders should have the same opportunities, rights, and obligations. Societies that equally regard women and men are more wealthy economically, safer, and healthier. However, gender inequality affects everyone, including men, women, transgender, kids, families, and ethnic groups. Owing to the critical importance of gender equality, the University of Poonch Rawalakot (UPR) is committed to creating a working environment where all of its members—faculty, staff, and students—are safe and equal, have equal access to power, resources, and opportunities, and are treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. According to the UPR's Act-2014 section-5, the University shall be open to all persons of either gender and of whatever religion, race, creed, class, or colour.
