#Official Statement: College of Engineering and Information Technology Calls for a Safe and Responsible Digital Environment for Women

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, observed on November 25, and under this year’s theme “Unite to End Digital Violence against Women and Girls,” the College of Engineering and Information Technology—represented by the Dean of the College, Prof. Dr. Ghaida Al-Mulla, along with its academic and administrative staff—affirms that Islam has always been at the forefront in advocating for the احترام and protection of women. Lady Fatima Al-Zahraa (peace be upon her) embodies the highest example of a dignified and honored woman of elevated status, representing a firm ethical and religious foundation for rejecting all forms of violence against women, whether direct or digital.

The College emphasizes that promoting digital awareness and a culture of ethical technology use is both an educational and societal necessity. It also highlights the importance of raising awareness about the risks of harmful content, respecting privacy, and adhering to Islamic values in digital interactions.

In line with its mission and academic specializations— including Artificial Intelligence Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Telecommunications and Mobile Computing Engineering— the College seeks to enhance students’ digital awareness, instill a culture of conscious and responsible technology use, and build their capacities in protecting privacy, identifying harmful content, and reporting it through appropriate channels.

Together… Against Digital Violence.
