SDG10: REDUCED INEQUALITIES

Introduction

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has sought to ensure equality and justice. Every part of the Kingdom receives its due focus from the government; as the statute of the 1412 A.H. Ruling stipulates to solidify the national unity and prevent anything that could lead to division, discord or sedition. In this regard, the Kingdom has launched several initiatives and programs.

Also, the Human Rights Commission entered into several partnerships, including a MoU with the General Authority for Statistics (GAStat) to enhance bilateral cooperation in human rights statistics, a memorandum of cooperation with the Ministry of Labor and Social Development to boost bilateral partnership and follow-up the implementation of each party’s tasks respectively, cooperation to combat trafficking in persons, secure the rights of persons with disabilities, children and family rights, protection from abuse and rights of older persons. GAStat also signed a MoU for technical cooperation with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to combat trafficking in persons, to prevent it, to help its victims, to sustain and shelter them.

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy places at the heart of everything we do to deliver an experience and environment in which all staff and students are treated with respect, feel welcome and are able to thrive.

Diversity and inclusion at Qassim University is about opening the intellectual enterprise to people who may be prevented from attending because of broader social inequities, by creating space, opportunities, entry points, pathways, and support for underrepresented students and staff.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion also includes our approach to building greater diversity in successful partnerships, in our procurement and supply chain practices, and in serving the community through respectful engagement that reflects leading practice.
