The University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) has made remarkable strides in promoting gender inclusion, increasing its female student population from 1% to 25% over the years.

This achievement was celebrated during an International Women's Day (IWD) event organized by the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), UMaT Chapter, in partnership with the Australian High Commission.

The event, held at UMaT's auditorium in Tarkwa, brought together students, market women, professionals, and stakeholders from the Tarkwa Nsuaem and Prestea Huni Valley Municipalities to discuss ways to accelerate gender equality.

Themed "Together, Let Us Accelerate Action for Gender Equality," the celebration emphasized the importance of inclusivity and women's empowerment in education and leadership.
