Statement by H.E. Dr. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar,

SLC Secretary General, on Mother’s Day 2026

23/03/2026

Mother’s Day represents both a humanitarian and national occasion through which we express our deep

appreciation for the vital role of mothers in building the family, strengthening social stability, and instilling
the authentic values that underpin the UAE’s comprehensive development journey. This year’s celebration
coincides with the directives of our wise leadership to designate 2026 as the Year of the Family, a national

initiative that places mothers at its very core as the essential pillar and enduring cornerstone of efforts to
build a cohesive and interconnected society.

On this occasion, the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) reaffirms its

commitment to advancing legislative frameworks that foster a healthy balance between family,
professional, and social responsibilities, in line with the UAE’s approach to empowering women,

particularly mothers. On Mother’s Day, we extend our highest regards and sincere felicitations 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, as well as to Emirati mothers and mothers around the world, in
recognition of their enduring dedication and vital role in nurturing generations and shaping the future.
