International Women’s Day 2024

“International Women’s Day stands as a global moment to honour the

contributions of women worldwide and acknowledge their outstanding
accomplishments and their pivotal role in fostering economic and social

development, highlighting the importance of supporting and empowering women

being key players in the growth and advancement of nations. In the United Arab

Emirates, this day carries profound significance; it is a moment of pride as we

reflect on the accomplishments and achievements of women, reaffirming their

pivotal role as partners alongside men in the pursuit of sustainable development,

in line with the directives of our wise leadership. Today, the UAE shines as a
beacon for women’s empowerment, with women assuming key roles within the

government as well as across various other sectors, forging remarkable

achievements and success stories including in the realm of entrepreneurship.

Under the unwavering support of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak,

Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, President of the Supreme Council for
Motherhood and Childhood, Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development

Foundation, ‘Mother of the Nation’, women in the UAE have risen to prominent

position compared to their peers worldwide.

We, at the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC), are

committed to empowering women and to supporting their roles and active

engagement by creating a legislative environment that safeguards women’s rights
