H.E. also praised the inspiring examples set by Emirati women leaders who continue to excel
on regional and global stages – most notably Shaikha Al Nowais, who made history as the first

woman to be appointed Secretary-General of the United Nations World Tourism Organization.
This landmark achievement stands as a powerful testament to the UAE’s leadership in
empowering women and strengthening their global presence.

His Excellency highlighted that this year’s celebration of Emirati Women’s Day under the theme

“Hand in Hand, We Celebrate 50 Years” carries profound national and humanitarian

empowering Emirati women, who today hold esteemed positions across various fields – thanks
to 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, and Mother of the Nation.
