I Matter Program: Enhancing Self-Esteem

On April 18, 2024, the Ajman University Women’s Empowerment Council (AUWEC) launched the ‘I Matter’ program with a workshop titled “Feeling Down? Let’s Enhance Your Self-Esteem Together!” Led by Dr. Abderrahim Benlahcene, Assistant Professor at the College of Humanities and Sciences, this ongoing program aims to boost participants’ self-esteem.

The initiative empowers individuals with tools to improve self-worth and confidence, fostering personal growth and well-being. The 'I Matter' program aligns with the United Nations SDGs, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality), by addressing mental health and promoting self-esteem to support overall health and gender equality.
