How the UAE's Mother of the Emirates Boosted Women's Initiatives

Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, "Mother of the Nation," established women's work initiatives in the United Arab Emirates beginning in 1973. She founded the first women's association, followed by the establishment of various associations across different emirates, culminating in the creation of the General Women’s Union in 1975 to bring all associations under its umbrella. The UAE leadership has strongly supported women, with Her Highness seen as a pioneer in the women's empowerment movement, adopting an approach that balances progress and openness with authenticity and Islamic traditions. She emphasizes that empowering women is a fundamental pillar of sustainable development. Her efforts have helped solidify the position of Emirati women in all fields, making them key partners in nation-building. Celebrations of Emirati Women's Day reflect their successes and serve as a testament to the leadership’s vision of empowering women as part of the national renaissance.
