The marginalisation of women has kept them out of leadership positions yet women are reported to be better decision makers, better leaders, and capable of maintaining harmony in the group than men. While affirmative action has increased the number of women in various decision making organs worldwide, there is still a gap in the participation of women in key areas like leadership, science and the corporate world generally.

The MUBS Leadership Centre developed a programme to mentor young university girls, this is intended to prepare them not only to take up leadership positions in various areas of life but also to enable them face the challenges that women ordinarily face in leadership, the corporate and business worlds
