The Women Empowerment Center was established by a decision of the Board of Trustees of Isra University in its sixth session of the 2023/2024 academic year, held on April 25, 2024, making it the first center of its kind among Jordanian universities dedicated to women’s empowerment.

The center is a specialized entity that aims to support women’s participation across political, economic, social, and cultural fields. It seeks to enhance the capacities of university female students, staff members, and women from the local community through training, leadership skill-building, and the provision of platforms for dialogue and community engagement—ensuring that women are empowered to reach decision-making positions and contribute effectively to sustainable development. The center also conducts scientific research and designs and implements awareness and training programs in cooperation with national and international institutions.
