To mark this year’s special occasion, Sheikha Fatima highlighted the efforts of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, to support women’s education and empowerment.
“The late Sheikh Zayed worked tirelessly to support women, established female empowerment as a pillar of the country, and made women’s rights protection a strategic goal, through laws and legislation that support gender equality and promote it as a common practice, while also encouraging women’s integration in the labour market and providing a safe and conducive environment to develop their professional capabilities,” Sheikha Fatima said.

“I hope that each and every woman works to reach her dreams and achieve excellence to help in supporting their families and communities, and so, I would like to express my appreciation to all women who have shown dedication in driving their countries’ development and bringing about a brighter future. I also salute women who have worked to excel as members of their families or mothers who help raise the world’s future generations.”
