UAE Women7
‘Don’t think because we are covered, we are not empowered,’ said Rafia Ghobash, one of the UAE’s most influential women, at the opening of her new Women’s Museum in Dubai. Indeed, women are recognized as critical partners in the UAE’s development and institutional changes at both the national and the emirate level and the role of women in social and economic life continues to expand. For 2012, the UAE was ranked fortieth out of 148 countries, and ahead of all other Arab nations, by the UN’s Gender Inequality Index, which reflects gender-based inequalities in three dimensions – reproductive health, empowerment and economic activity.
