SDG 5: Gender Equality
Phetchaburi Rajabhat University places strong emphasis on promoting gender equality and ensuring that women and people of all genders have equal access to education and skills development. The university has continuously implemented various projects and activities aimed at creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering learning environment that supports the holistic development of students in academic, professional, and personal dimensions.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, the university established the Gender Equality Promotion Center, serving as a key mechanism to drive gender equality policies across all dimensions — including education, livelihood, and employment. The center’s core mission is to raise awareness of human rights and gender diversity while working to reduce gender-based disparities within society.
The center organizes diverse activities such as:
- LGBTQ+ contests to promote pride in gender diversity;
- The establishment of the “Thanyarak Club”, which serves as a safe space for learning and exchanging knowledge about women’s rights and health care; and
- The creation of a Gender Equality Counseling and Education Center, which provides psychological support, counseling, and accurate information on gender equality and human rights.
Furthermore, Phetchaburi Rajabhat University encourages its faculties to implement projects and activities that promote gender equality in various dimensions, such as:
- Training and career counseling programs for female students to enhance entrepreneurial and vocational skills;
- Creating inclusive spaces where students of all genders can equally express their talents and potential; and
- Organizing contests to promote confidence and gender diversity recognition, such as the IT Ambassador Boy & Girl and IT Ambassador LGBTQ+ competitions.
All these initiatives demonstrate the university’s strong commitment to fostering gender equality at all levels, creating a safe, inclusive, and gender-friendly learning environment for everyone. Phetchaburi Rajabhat University continues to stand as a model institution for promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion
