Abu Dhabi - Shaikh Hamdan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, has called for enhancing the participation of women in the development process, and providing an environment and a solid base to enable them to participate actively. Delivering a speech on the advent of the International Women’s Day (today), he said that Emirati women are able to play an active role in the sustainable development, for they are surrounded by the elements of motivation and empowerment.
He also pointed out that the UAE government has adopted various programmes and projects to maintain good standard of living for women and has empowered them in the various spheres of life, under the leadership of the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Adding that this has had a major role until she became an example referred to in various international forums.
The United Nations’ statistics indicate that the UAE is among the world’s most advanced countries in the field of women’s education, and the Emirati woman has fulfilled several achievements and occupied advanced positions through the State of the Union.
He pointed out that Emirati women are ministers, director-generals, a businesswomen, athletes, ambassadors, judges, fighter jet captains, police officers, soldiers, and members of the National Council, and they finally joined the national service efficiently and effectively, and with love and trust.
Since the UAE women have exerted efforts in the development progress with an unlimited support, we must not forget to mention that many of the strides made by women were the result of the great efforts made by the “Mother of the UAE”, Shaikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union (GWU), Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood.
