Moza Saeed bin Ahmed Al-Otaiba, founder and executive director of the Al-Otaiba Inmaa Group, explained that over the last five decades, Emirati women have achieved significant successes, culminating in holding top positions in various public and private institutions. They are an important contributor to the process of sustainable development, thanks to the support and encouragement of the wise leadership that has instilled confidence in women and their ability for creativity, innovation, confronting challenges, and achieving milestones.
On the occasion of Emirati Women’s Day, which falls on August 28 each year, she praised the great and active role of Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak (Mother of the Emirates), President of the General Women’s Federation, Supreme President of the Family Development Foundation, and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, in encouraging women and enabling them to work in various fields and reach the highest ranks and positions. She commended the continuous support of Her Highness for Emirati women and their achievements.
She stated that the adoption of the theme “Hand in hand we celebrate fifty years” as the official theme for commemorating the 50th Emirati Women’s Day in 2025 reflects appreciation for the great role played by the federation in supporting the progress of Emirati women, where they receive full attention, care, and encouragement, enabling them to achieve the great successes we witness today.
Moza said: “The wise leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State; Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and their brothers, the rulers of UAE, enabled Emirati women to assume ranks and positions such as chairwoman of the Federal National Council, ministers, ambassadors, parliamentarians, presidents, and members of the board of directors of major companies in the country. They work in important sectors, whether educational, social, economic, etc., and contribute to the development of the state.
Moza added: “It is important for women to continue the journey of success and excellence, and to prove their ability in various locations and tasks. Additionally, joining advanced economic sectors such as technology, artificial intelligence, digital development, and other sectors that enable the state to achieve excellence and leadership regionally and globally is crucial.”
Moza concluded by saying that the celebration of this important occasion confirms the ability and efficiency of Emirati women with their clear and effective role in serving the country and society in various fields. She stressed the importance of giving attention and necessary support to the projects of Emirati business entrepreneurs to enter the private sector and launch commercial and economic projects that suit them, with a focus on technological projects, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence, which represent the new trend in seeking to keep pace with economic development.
