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
On this cherished national occasion, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and deep appreciation to the “Mother of the Nation”, 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, for her historic and pioneering role in
advancing the status of Emirati women.
