The first session, titled 'Empowering Women through Financial Risk: Awareness and Understanding', catered to women aged 18 and above, including students, employees, housewives, retirees, and recent graduates.

Held in strategic partnership with the Sharjah Judicial Department, the session featured Judge Dr. Salama Rashid Al Ketbi, Head of the Judicial Inspection Department at the Sharjah Judicial Department, who shared legal insights into common financial risks faced by women. Drawn from real court cases, she outlined practical legal protections available to help women safeguard their financial rights.

EMPOWERMENT BEGINS WITH AWARENESS: Mariam Al Hammadi, Director General of NAMA, said: "At NAMA, we believe that true empowerment starts with awareness. A woman who is financially and legally informed is better equipped to protect her assets and make decisions that reinforce her stability, both within her family and in society. Through 'NAMA Talks', we create space for meaningful discussions on real-life challenges that women face, providing content that promotes knowledge and drives positive change.
