The UAE is one of the GCC’s leading countries when it comes to gender equality. Celebrated annually on 28th August, Emirati Women’s Day covers what International Women’s Day does – but specifically about Emirati women. Founded in 2015 by Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, who is also knows as the Mother of the Nation in the United Arab Emirates, Emirati Women’s Day honors the achievements of the Emirati women over the last 50 years, whilst supporting their ambitions for the future.
