The UAE had earlier announced the official theme for Emirati Women's Day 2025: 'Hand in Hand, Celebrating the 50th' marking five decades since the establishment of the General Women's Union in 1975.

Emirati Women's Day has become a key moment each year to reflect on progress, renew commitments to gender equality, and celebrate the achievements of women across the country.

This year's celebration aligns with the broader national initiative naming 2025 the Year of Community, launched by President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The focus is on strengthening social bonds and recognising the vital role women play in national development.

Announced by Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union (GWU), President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF), the theme highlights the UAE's inclusive approach to women's empowerment, emphasising shared responsibility and unity across all sectors of society.

It also honours the contributions of Emirati women over the years and reinforces the commitment to continue advancing their role in the country's future.

Since its founding, the General Women's Union has worked to empower women through programs rooted in national identity, community values, and social cohesion.
