The Center for Academic and Professional Advancement at the American University of Kurdistan is honored to celebrate the accomplishments of 51 distinguished women from Zakho and Duhok who have successfully completed the She LeadsWomen Leadership Certificate Program. This initiative, supported by the U.S. Department of State, underscores AUK’s commitment to empowering women and fostering leadership within the Kurdistan Region.

In conjunction with this graduation, we are proud to announce the launch of the UNTOLD Book: Stories from Women Leaders in Kurdistan. This publication showcases the personal stories of these graduates, highlighting their resilience, determination, and the transformative impact they have made in their communities.

This event not only celebrates the individual achievements of these women but also reflects AUK’s CAPA dedication to promoting gender equality and leadership development. By providing platforms for education and personal growth, AUK’s CAPA continues to contribute to the advancement of society and the empowerment of future leaders.
