Goal 5:
Gender Equality

Advancing gender equality by empowering women and girls to lead, learn, and contribute equally.

Gender Equality for a Fair and Sustainable Maldives

A basic human right. A university commitment. Fair access, open opportunity, and protection from discrimination for all.

Gender equality is a basic human right and a foundation for a fair and sustainable Maldives. At The Maldives National University (MNU), women make up three in four of our students and two in three of our staff. We work to keep access fair, open fields where women are still few, and protect everyone who studies and works with us from discrimination.
