Empowerment begins with chalk and a blackboard. That may be why people who seek to change the world covet education and people who want to keep the status quo that suits them seek to curtail it.

But if you educate a woman, you educate a nation.” Women leaders are playing a pivotal role in transforming and empowering a nation and enabling betterment for future generations. One such woman inspiring and empowering the generations is Dr. Haifa Reda Jamal Al Lail,

President of Effat University.

Dr. Haifa is a distinguished leader, a respected academic, a renowned advocate of youth engagement, and the author of several articles. She has also delivered many keynote speeches on women’s education in the Middle East, women and change, entrepreneurship and business.

In 2005, Dr. Haifa was one of the recipients of 1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize. It was awarded to peace activists from around the globe in order to give more visibility and recognition to women’s peace work worldwide.
