Emirati Women's Day 2025 to be held under new theme

Under the directives of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak "The Mother of the Nation", Chairwoman of the General Women's Union (GWU), President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF), the official theme for Emirati Women's Day 2025 has been approved as "Hand in Hand, We Celebrate 50 Years".

Marked annually on 28th August, this year's occasion coincides with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the General Women's Union in 1975. The theme reflects a national celebration of community partnership and the continuous achievements of Emirati women across five decades.

The directive aligns with the announcement by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, designating 2025 as the 'Year of Community' under the theme "Hand in Hand". It underscores the country's vision of strengthening national cohesion and reaffirming the essential role of Emirati women as partners in the nation's journey of development and progress.

This year's theme carries profound national and social meaning, symbolising the participatory spirit that defines the UAE's approach to women's empowerment. It also affirms the need to continue advancing through collaboration across all segments of society.
