Celebrating International Afro-Descendant Women’s Day   

Since 1992, we commemorate International Afro-Descendant Women’s Day on July 25 to recognize the contributions and actions that promote access to education and equal opportunities for Afro-descendant women.

A study published by “The Education Trust” reveals that only 1.1% of Afro-descendant women study STEM courses at the university level, and only between 5% and 7% work in technological fields. These numbers highlight the need to generate more opportunities and support for these women in the technology sector.

At Jala University, we are committed to providing an environment where our students can develop their maximum potential. We promote equity, equal opportunities, and respect for diversity. We want to highlight the experience of our students in Brazil:

“My aspiration is to be an example for other women who want to enter the technology field, so they can see that they can too.”
– Lavinia, student at Jala University

We firmly believe in the impact of education to transform lives and allow young talents to stand out in technology, working on both technical and social skills. Our goal is to contribute significantly to more women getting involved in the technology field, taking on challenges, and achieving goals as professionals. We are proud of what we are achieving:

“Jala University has been essential in my personal and professional growth. I have learned to value my voice and my potential in a field often dominated by men.”
– Mayara, student at Jala University

“Jala University opened incredible doors for me, providing quality education and an extremely inclusive and encouraging environment where I feel valued and motivated to always strive for excellence and my aspirations.”
– Akyssa, student at Jala University

We invite you to learn more about our university community and be part of a new generation that champions technology and equal opportunities.
