- BY ALI AL HAMMADI

Leading businesses, inspiring change with strength, purpose

This year, Emirati Women’s Day is themed ‘Hand in Hand, We Celebrate 50 Years’. It’s a reminder that Emirati women have always been at the heart of the nation’s journey, building families, business institutions and communities with strength and purpose.

From boardrooms to hospitals, classrooms to creative industries, their contributions continue to define what a brighter and more inclusive future looks like.

‘Equal opportunities in education and leadership’

Bdoor Mohammad, actress (Amani), said: “Over the years, Emirati women have been entrusted with equal opportunities in education, work, and leadership, and our achievements are celebrated — both locally and internationally. This recognition not only empowers us but also instills confidence in younger generations to aim higher.
