Najla Al Midfa, CEO of Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa) said: “Emirati Women’s Day honors the remarkable, industrious women who have been part of the UAE’s social and economic fabric from the very beginning. The incredible strides these trailblazers continue to make – in key government roles, as pilots, athletes, engineers, and more – is a testament to the work of generations of strong female role models, as well as wise leaders who are committed to ensuring equality for all.”

“I am proud and grateful for a nation that values and encourages women, working to create an environment where they can continue to excel and contribute to the sustainable development of the UAE. At Sheraa, we too are committed to playing our part, encouraging Emirati women towards entrepreneurship, and providing them with the skills and confidence they need to fulfill their potential as founders,” Al Midfa added.
