Emirati women have firmly established themselves as vital players in the UAE’s ambitious development journey, making their mark across all sectors,
including the judiciary. Each year, Emirati Women’s Day shines a spotlight on this remarkable progress, serving as both a celebration of
accomplishments and a renewed call to action. At the center of this movement is Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Mother of the Nation,
Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the
Family Development Foundation.

This year’s theme, ‘Hand in Hand, We Celebrate 50 Years,’ reflects Her Highness’s enduring dedication to placing women’s empowerment at the heart
of national priorities. Her Highness has consistently championed the vital role of women in nation-building and has called for expanding their presence
in all vital sectors by empowering them to lead and shape the future.

Under the leadership of H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, the General Women’s Union has played an instrumental role in expanding the influence of
Emirati women across diverse fields. The Union has spearheaded national strategies to increase women’s participation in development, launched
training programs to cultivate leadership and innovation skills among women, and promoted active political engagement.

These strategic efforts have translated into a stronger presence of Emirati women in high-level government and judicial roles, as well as broader
empowerment in the economic sphere through support for entrepreneurship and small businesses.

As a result of these efforts, Emirati women today stand as a model of excellence, holding key positions, assuming vital responsibilities, participating in
decision-making processes, and excelling in critical sectors such as space, the military, police, diplomacy, and the judiciary.

Emirati Women’s Day is a true reflection of the UAE’s visionary leadership, illuminating the path for future generations. It serves as a testament that
the country’s continued growth and prosperity are built on the equal contributions of both women and men. On this day, women are not simply
celebrated as ‘half of society,’ but recognised as the very foundation of its progress.
