null Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women and Girls

Goal 5
Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women and Girls
Eradicating all forms of discrimination against women and girls does not only constitute a fundamental human right but is also a critical factor in accelerating sustainable development. In the UAE, the Gender Balance Council was established to enhance the leading role of Emirati women in the country’s development, and ensure that best practices are being implemented by federal institutions to meet their gender equality goals. The country has also introduced laws and initiatives to protect the rights of women, provide equal job opportunities, ensure their decent living and foster their creativity in sustainable and developmental domains.
To achieve Goal 5, the Ministry of Economy has strengthened its collaboration with entities that support gender equality and empowerment to increase the economic participation of women, particularly in the entrepreneurship sector, and has launched various initiatives in order to significantly alleviate the gender gap and highlight the great contribution of women in economic growth.
