International Women’s Day is an important occasion when women are recognised for their achievements around the world. The day calls for gender equality and justice to enhance stability and wellbeing of the global community.

We, in the UAE, are proud of Emirati women, and recognise their efforts and achievements every day. The nation’s leadership ensures that they have ample opportunities to play a key role in the national development process, boosting their participation in scientific, economic, political and sporting fields.

“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the nation’s visionary leadership, especially the support we have received from His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Wife of His Highness, and Chairperson of the Rubu’ Qarn Foundation for Creating Future Leaders and Innovators, who are relentless in their efforts to providing girls and women the opportunities they need to build their skillsets and thrive in all walks of life.

Here at Sajaya, we seek to build a generation of empowered ladies who are able to be active partners and contributors to the nation building process, and to the creation of a more stable and safe future for generations to come.
