H.H.

Sheikha Fatima called for rallying efforts to translate the country’s directions to equip young people with future skills.

Sheikha Fatima said, “In the UAE, Emiratis grow up in an ideal environment established by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. He prioritised the care given to the young people, safeguarded their rights at the forefront of development, and placed them in a very important and strategic position.”

She added that he was motivated by his fatherly feelings towards all Emiratis. Since the country’s establishment, he sought to prepare a conscious and educated generation capable of assuming responsibility for development, and equipped morals and values gleaned from the authenticity of our civilisation, sustained by our ancient history. This enlightened approach has been adopted by the wise leadership under President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed and Their Highnesses Supreme Council Members and Rulers of the Emirates.

The GWU has worked tirelessly to translate the wise directives to equip Emirati women and invest in their skills to serve their homeland and community as part of its constant collaboration with strategic partners from the federal and local departments, the private sector, civil society institutions, and international and regional organisations.

Noura Al Suwaidi, GWU Secretary-General, said, “The GWU has worked with a systematic strategy that began at the foundation stage, with the launch of the GWU’s Information Training Centre in 2000, which had a notable impact on achieving this vision.”
