Our policies are designed to protect the rights of women and girls, ensuring they are free from any form of discrimination, harassment, or violence. We have established clear guidelines that address gender-based violence, create safe spaces, and promote gender sensitivity across the campus.

The university encourages female faculty members and students to take active roles in conducting research and developing technologies that contribute to societal change. Female researchers at KMUTT are actively involved in addressing issues that disproportionately affect women and girls, such as gender-based violence, reproductive health, and gender disparities in STEM fields.
We believe in fostering an environment where women in academia can thrive. Our research programs support female researchers and aim to bridge the gender gap in academic leadership positions. With dedicated resources and support for female researchers, KMUTT strives to create an environment that enables women to innovate, lead, and make meaningful contributions to their respective fields.
Supporting Women’s Career Development
At KMUTT, empowering women extends beyond the classroom. We recognize that career development is an essential part of achieving gender equality. The university provides career services and networking opportunities to help women excel in the job market. KMUTT has strong partnerships with industries, corporations, and startups, ensuring that our female graduates have access to internships, employment opportunities, and leadership training in various sectors.
Through workshops, conferences, and collaborations with women’s networks, we offer female students and staff the chance to build the skills and confidence they need to take on leadership roles in their future careers. By creating these opportunities, KMUTT is paving the way for more women to step into influential positions in both the private and public sectors.
Encouraging Women’s Leadership and Participation
In line with our commitment to gender equality, KMUTT actively encourages women to take on leadership roles across various student organizations, academic committees, and research projects. We provide platforms for women leaders to share their experiences, knowledge, and expertise, ensuring that their voices are heard in shaping university policies and decisions.
We also support female faculty members and staff in taking on leadership positions within the university, ensuring that women have equal opportunities to lead and influence institutional development.

The university actively works with local and international organizations to promote women’s rights and gender equality. Through community outreach programs, KMUTT engages in initiatives that empower women and girls, especially in rural and underserved areas.
