Police chiefs in the UAE have lauded women's progress in the military and law enforcement fields, stressing that they - like men - have 'the right to occupy the highest positions'.

Major-Gen Ali Abdullah bin Alwan Al Nuaimi, general commander of Ras Al Khaimah Police, said International Women's Day is an opportunity to highlight and praise Emirati women's achievements.

"Nothing makes me happier than seeing Emirati women take their role in society and achieve their proper place," he said. "Nothing should stand in her way since she has the right, like a man, to occupy the highest positions in proportion to her abilities and qualifications."
