Celebrating emirati women’s day

In today’s Emirati Women’s Day, the way Al Hamriyah Municipality is celebrating shows we are dedicated to gender equality and empowering women in the UAE. This occasion isn’t merely an observance; it represents a deeper understanding of how essential Emirati women have been in building our nation. They have redefined UAE’s socio-economic structure by providing direction for community projects as well as sustaining development. Their accomplishments prove that there have always been people who could foresee what was going on, such as leaders continuously fighting for them so that they are not just partakers but managers in their country’s growth.


Women’s role within the public service sector is visually noticed and changed heavily during the celebration at Al Hamriyah Municipality. This visible involvement of women across various departments, as shown by active female staff members offers evidence for the municipality’s commitment to establishing an enabling environment for growth of women leadership in all sections.It is coherent with national policies aimed at recognizing that women are essential actors for reaching ambitious objectives for development set by United Arab Emirates (UAE).The advancement of women will simultaneously bring about a whole collection of these gains together with comprehensive progress on issues confronting them as people and citizens of this state.


Emirati Women’s Day does not simply consist of a day meant to appreciate the role of women in the UAE but also serves as a clear representation of the untiring efforts that are being made in order to attain equality and empowerment among all citizens. As Director for Al Hamriyah Municipality; Mubarak Rashed Al Shamsi stated “The achievements made by Emirati women cannot be termed isolated successes, but rather they are part of the larger story line for our nation.” This statement proves his point about how important it is to preserve their leadership and input into this country which forms part of its identity as a progressive state. Hence, these accomplishments serve as inspiration towards an era where Emirati women will keep on taking the lead position, motivating others and pushing even farther all the nations’ boundaries.
