UAE's Remarkable Women Achievers and Trailblazers
Summary:
Explore the evolving professional landscape in the UAE where young, confident women are breaking barriers and fueling change.Article:
The traditional patriarchal nature of Arab societies, rooted deeply in cultural and religious norms, has historically limited opportunities for women. Despite modern advancements in infrastructure and economy, many Arab countries, including the UAE, still struggle with gender equality in the workforce. Although women make up about 65% of university students in the UAE, their representation in the workforce lingers at a mere 15%.
However, this scenario is gradually shifting. The UAE's booming economy and concerted government efforts to promote gender equality are encouraging more women to pursue higher education and professional careers. Today, a growing number of ambitious women are stepping into diverse roles, from radiologists to TV presenters to entrepreneurs.
Traditionally, interacting with strangers, particularly males, was considered inappropriate for UAE women. As a result, many government universities remain single-gender. Yet, with a flourishing economy and a diverse expatriate workforce, societal norms are slowly changing, allowing women to work alongside men, especially in cosmopolitan areas like Dubai. The media often highlights the accomplishments of women in various fields, celebrating their contributions to the nation.
Consider Fatma Mohamed Haj, a 21-year-old who overcame family resistance to become a radiologist?"a field requiring her to interact with male patients and work late hours. Through strategic negotiation, she secured her family's support and is now on the brink of beginning her professional journey. Similarly, Nariman al-Rostamani, a 19-year-old TV presenter, gained confidence in addressing public criticism, turning challenges into strengths.
While many women still face familial and societal pressures, pioneers like Fatma and Nariman are paving the way for others, driving the agenda of female empowerment forward in the UAE.
Amna Mazam, a student counselor, teaches negotiation skills to aspiring working women, helping them gain family approval for their career ambitions. Despite acknowledging the challenges women face, she remains optimistic about the future. Changing attitudes among men, such as Fahad Qahtani, a 25-year-old IT student, who humorously notes that working wives might lead to fewer domestic conversations, reflect a societal shift towards acceptance and progress.
In summary, the UAE's women are steadily redefining their roles, demonstrating resilience and paving the path for a more inclusive and equitable future. This transformation signals a promising horizon for the nation's aspiring women.
