"Women Make the World Beautiful" and SDG: A Step Towards Gender Equality

A festive event dedicated to International Women's Day, titled "Women Make the World Beautiful", was held at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. This celebration not only expressed appreciation and respect for women but also aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 5 – Gender Equality.
In his congratulatory speech, the university's rector ZH.K.Tuimebayev emphasized the significant role of women in education and science, as well as their contribution to societal development. Awards were presented to distinguished female educators and staff who have dedicated many years to teaching and research. This recognition symbolized the acknowledgment of their professional achievements and contributions to the field of education.
During the event, male faculty members expressed their heartfelt congratulations through songs and poetry, honoring the remarkable women of the university. Such celebrations help reinforce women's roles in society and encourage their active participation in science, economics, and politics.
Gender equality is a fundamental principle that benefits not only women but society as a whole. Ensuring equal access to education and creating fair opportunities in the labor market are crucial factors for the sustainable development and prosperity of Kazakhstan. This event at the university once again highlighted the importance of women's contributions and promoted a positive attitude towards gender equality.
