4/28/25, 1:36 PM UAE committed to shaping just, secure digital future for women: Manal bint Mohammed
Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai. She reaffirmed that
the UAE regards women's empowerment as a fundamental right and a national
priority that drives progress across all sectors.
H.H. Sheikha Manal also reiterated the UAE's strong commitment to shaping a
digital future that is empowering, equitable, and protected from gender-based
violence. This commitment is reinforced through robust legal and legislative
frameworks. In November, the UAE Gender Balance Council advanced these
efforts by launching the "Guidelines for Preventive Policies Against Gender-Based
Violence Through Digital Applications", a pioneering step towards safer digital
environments for women.
The United Arab Emirates participated actively in the BRICS Women's Affairs
Ministerial Meeting, with the participation of Mona Ghanem Al Marri, Vice
President of the UAE Gender Balance Council.
The meeting commenced with an inspiring address by Brazil's First Lady, Luiz
Inacio Lula da Silva, and the presence of distinguished leaders: Esther Duque,
Minister of Administration and Innovation in Public Services; Anielle Franco,
Minister of Racial Equality; and Aparecida Goncalves, Minister of Women of
Brazil.
Together, they championed a powerful agenda of progress through three pivotal
discussions: advancing international coordination, empowering women through
economic independence and entrepreneurship, harnessing digital governance to
combat online violence, and amplifying women's voices in climate action and
sustainable development.
In the "Women, Development, and Entrepreneurship" session, Mona Al Marri
underscored the UAE's long-standing support for women in business. "Emirati
women have made a lasting impact on our national economy," said Al Marri.
