As the UAE solidifies its position as a global leader in technology and innovation, one aspect truly exemplifies the nation’s progress: the incredible transformation of women’s empowerment.

Thanks to the government’s consistent and dedicated efforts towards gender equality, the barriers that once impeded female advancement are now giving way to new opportunities, igniting an unprecedented wave of empowerment.

Throughout history, women in the region faced formidable obstacles and disparities across various sectors. However, today the UAE has come to set an example among its peers in the region by making significant strides in closing the gender gap. In fact, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2023, the UAE boasts the highest gender parity in the Middle East and North Africa region.
