As Director of the Institute of Gender Studies, I take immense
pride in leading an institute committed to promoting gender
leadership, gender equity, and transformative education in
the field of Gender Studies. Through our academic institute,
we strive to create an intellectually vibrant environment
that empowers students through critical engagement with
social realities and contributes meaningfully towards
positive societal change.
Personally, my academic and professional journey is deeply
connected with Women\\\\\'s empowerment, Gender-Based Violence
(GBV), men\\\\\'s approaches towards gender-based violence,
social justice, and feminist research. Over the years,
I have had the privilege of working with various national
and international organizations, including collaborations
associated with USAID, UNDP, and UNFPA. My contributions
in the fields of feminist research and social services
have also received international recognition.
These experiences continue to shape my vision for
strengthening Women\'s empowerment through education,
social counselling, and legal support.
I warmly welcome students to join the Institute of
Gender Studies (IGS) and become part of an advanced
and progressive learning community where gender
leadership, learning, service, and social transformation
are valued and developed together.
