UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan recently honored the nation’s women, hailing them as the true pride and backbone of the country. In a message shared on X for Emirati Women’s Day, he praised their incredible resilience and the vital role they play in driving the nation's ongoing development. Emphasizing that their vision and determination serve as a cornerstone for the UAE's collective growth, the President highlighted how these contributions continue to inspire the future of the entire country.

To better recognize these achievements, the nation is shaking up its celebration style this year by extending the festivities from a single day to an entire month. Kicking off on August 28, this expanded program—first announced by Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak—will serve as a platform to launch new initiatives and spotlight inspiring role models. By moving beyond a 24-hour celebration, the UAE aims to more deeply acknowledge the unwavering commitment of Emirati women and their central role in the country’s "Together, We Rise Stronger and Better" mission.
