    Amongst a number of services the Student Affairs Department is mandated to provide, student welfare is very critical. Therefore, the department ensures that Women’s University in Africa can access physical, social and psychological, support to foster smooth and effective their learning.

    The university does not promote siloed operations and in this vein, the department complements other university departments such as the Gender and Diversity Centre and academic faculties’ efforts in combating discrimination of any student by gender, ethnic, religion or other variables. The department is also aware of potential sexual harassment and sexual violence among students and the rest of the university community. In line with the institution’s Sexual Harassment Policy, the Student Affairs Department also has an officer dedicated to receiving and processing complaints of a sexual harassment or violence nature. These can be escalated to higher levels where an investigating committee can be constituted to further assess and protect students who would have been exposed to this.
