Statement by

H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi,

SLC Secretary General, on Emirati Women’s Day

27 August 2024:

On Emirati Women’s Day, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) honours Emirati women for their pivotal
role in the development and progress of our beloved country, as well as their outstanding contributions
to the development and growth of our community. Since the establishment of the Union, the UAE has

tirelessly supported women’s empowerment in various fields, in line with the vision of the late Sheikh
Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Over the past decades, the UAE has enacted legislation and established
various entities and institutions to empower women and protect their rights.

With the unwavering support and directives of our wise leadership, our nation continues to advance
in a manner that supports and empowers Emirati women. Emirati female cadres are writing their

success stories across various fields, including knowledge, learning, education, government work,
entrepreneurship, healthcare, aviation, advanced technology, and space science, making them role
models of leadership and empowerment at the regional and global levels.

On this occasion, we at the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) extend our
heartfelt congratulations to 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. We also extend our
congratulations to every Emirati woman in recognition of her unwavering efforts and remarkable
achievements in driving our society’s development and progress.
