Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) organised the 10th Emirati Women’s Forum under the theme “Sharing for Tomorrow,” at DEWA Academy in Al Hudaiba. The event, organised in the presence of HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, celebrated the achievements of Emirati women who have become symbols of giving, hard work, and noble values. The forum featured various activities and panel discussions, highlighting the journey of women’s empowerment at DEWA and within society. It also recognised several Emirati female employees at DEWA who have made significant contributions both locally and globally, reinforcing Dubai and the UAE’s growth and prosperity.

In his speech at the forum, HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer emphasised that the forum is in line with the directives of the wise leadership to contribute to elevating the status of Emirati women in our nation’s journey of development, prosperity, and growth, and celebrate their key role as influential partners in achieving sustainable and comprehensive development, and as instrumental supporters of the UAE’s growth and progress.

“On Emirati Women’s Day, we reflect on the unique path set forth by the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may his soul rest in peace, which continues under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE; His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai; and Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood (Mother of the Nation). Their unwavering support and empowerment of women have ensured their active participation in all key positions, making them a shining example and role model for their families and society, and a source of inspiration for women globally. DEWA’s Emirati Women’s Forum is a valuable platform for engaging in meaningful discussions and sharing ideas and experiences on various topics that enhance communication skills. The forum also showcases the latest trends and innovations that support women empowerment. I hope you will make the most of your participation in the forum and seize the opportunities to build a sustainable future,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer.

At the 10th Emirati Women’s Forum, we honour the Emirati women who have excelled and made significant contributions across all sectors. We also highlight the achievements of DEWA’s female Emirati employees, who have a strong and influential presence throughout all DEWA’s divisions, supporting the organisation’s strategic goals and playing a key role in realising DEWA’s vision to be a globally leading sustainable innovative corporation committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050.
