SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities

Phoenicia University (PU) is committed to reducing inequalities. The University advances structural inclusion and equitable access for underrepresented and disadvantaged groups across its community. This commitment is carried out through targeted recruitment and outreach, formal partnerships with disability-focused organizations, and need-based financial aid. PU also provides dedicated support for individuals with disabilities, women in underrepresented fields, and students from low-income backgrounds. Together, these efforts work to dismantle social, economic, and physical barriers to equal participation in academic and professional life. In doing so, PU positions inclusion not as a standalone initiative, but as a principle woven into how the University recruits, teaches, and employs.

Through the lens of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), a person is considered to have a disability when their impairment interacts with various barriers in the environment — physical, informational, or attitudinal — that hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. Accordingly, the proportion of students with disabilities in this metric reflects the presence of impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions among the student body.
