Gender imbalance in different sectors is one of the current critical issues that requires immediate intervention and empowerment of females in decision making and implementation of affirmative action to correct it. The main objective of this study is to examine development and gender socialization mainstreaming issues at higher education. This study is a case study research designs undertaken using quantitative and qualitative methods, in which the university community (staff and students of both sexes) participated. The results of this study indicated that university related issues such as rules and regulations, peer pressure, lack of female role models, department choice of students and providing different supportive trainings by the university impacts females’ socialization and development. Specifically, results indicated that females are: more likely than men to attribute success to hard work or luck rather than skill; more likely to blame themselves for a lack of success than are male; tend to feel less comfortable in public debate; more likely to be interrupted when they speak; more likely to phrase their comments in a hesitant manner; and less likely than male students to shape the agenda of the discussion. The problems most frequently cited were violence, harassment and lack of security. This study strongly suggests that in order to improve gender development and socialization, attention should be given to personal security, material support and assertiveness creation. Therefore, ministry of education, university and community should give due attention to promote females socialization and development.
