Statement by H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi,

SLC Secretary General, on Emirati Women’s Day

27 August 2025:

“On Emirati Women’s Day, we proudly celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of Emirati

women and the distinguished status they have attained both nationally and internationally.

These achievements reflect the far-sighted vision of our wise leadership, which has

consistently championed women’s empowerment and mobilised all means to support their

advancement, faithful to the path charted by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the

Founding Father of the United Arab Emirates.

This year’s celebration places a special significance as it is being held under the theme ‘Hand

in Hand, We Celebrate 50 Years,’ marking five decades since the establishment of the General

Women’s Union. It comes in line with the ‘Principles of the 50’ and reaffirms the key role of

Emirati women in shaping the future of the UAE’s development journey.

Emirati women have consistently demonstrated that they are true partners in the nation’s

development journey and a cornerstone in sustaining institutional and legislative progress.

Their increasing presence across a range of sectors, particularly within the legal and legislative

domains, where precision and high competence are essential, underscores their vital role.

Guided by its strategic vision and wise leadership, the United Arab Emirates continues to
reinforce a legislative ecosystem that enables women’s participation across all spheres of life.

This legal framework has played a pivotal role in empowering women, enhancing their

leadership, and cultivating an environment that fosters creativity and excellence.
