To commemorate Emirati Women's Day, Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, known as the Mother of the Nation, sent a touching message to the women of the UAE early Friday morning. In her note, she lauded them as the "pillars of the nation" and essential contributors to the country’s ongoing progress. She emphasized that Emirati women are not just the heart of society but are also vital partners in building a prosperous future, urging them to continue upholding the core values that define the nation.

Beyond celebrating women, Sheikha Fatima also took a moment to express gratitude toward the men and various institutions that have championed gender equality by creating doors of opportunity across the country. Recognizing that this year's observance is particularly significant, she announced that the festivities will extend for an entire month starting August 28, 2026. This shift underscores a broader commitment to honoring the achievements of women and reflects a shared national vision where unity and collective effort drive the UAE toward greater success.
