The Gender Equity Pathways Project recognizes the empowerment of women in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as a key driver of economic development. The project directly addresses the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions within HEIs. Our initiative aims to foster a culture of safety, respect, and equality within HEIs. The project's planned activities have a substantial and meaningful impact on the economic development and social welfare of South Africa.
