She described women as leaders, decision-makers, innovators and changemakers. According to her, their work has helped shape institutions and strengthen communities.
Al Muhrizi also praised the national vision that supports equal opportunities and encourages talent. She said this support has helped women contribute to the country’s progress and strengthen the UAE’s position internationally.
She also highlighted the role of women in community service. At the Khalid Bin Sultan Al Qasimi Humanitarian Foundation, she said women continue to support the protection and development of human potential.
Women Making Decisions in Culture
Khoula Al Mujaini, Executive Director of the Sharjah Animation and Comics Conference, also praised the achievements of Emirati women.
She said women are not simply participants in the UAE’s development. They are initiators, innovators and decision-makers across different sectors.
Mujaini placed special focus on culture and the creative industries. She said Emirati women help preserve national identity, shape awareness and influence cultural interests.
She pointed to the Sharjah Animation and Comics Conference as an example. Women contribute through the content they create and the ideas they inspire.
Their creative work can also encourage young people to explore knowledge and artistic expression. Mujaini said supporting creativity and curiosity is an important investment in the UAE’s future.
New Generation of Women Entrepreneurs
Sara Abdelaziz Al Nuaimi, CEO of Sheraa, highlighted another important area of progress. She said Emirati women are building on a strong legacy of ambition, contribution and leadership.
Their achievements can be seen in business, entrepreneurship, science, government and other fields. Al Nuaimi said these achievements reflect both individual determination and national support.
She also discussed the growing number of Emirati women entrepreneurs. Through Sheraa’s work, she said women are building companies, exploring new opportunities and entering new markets.
For Al Nuaimi, Emirati Women’s Day is not only a time to recognise past achievements. It is also an opportunity to create more pathways for women to build, lead and contribute to the UAE’s future.
A Stronger Future for Emirati Women
The three leaders offered different perspectives on the same national journey. Their comments highlighted the expanding role of women in the UAE.
Emirati women are leaders in cultural development, entrepreneurship, community service and decision-making. They are also helping create opportunities for future generations.
Their contributions show how women continue to take active roles in shaping society. From creative industries to business and humanitarian work, their influence can be seen across different sectors.
The messages also reflect the theme of Emirati Women’s Day 2026, “We Emerge Stronger and Better.” The theme underlines the strength, progress and continued contribution of Emirati women.
Sharjah’s voices on Emirati Women’s Day therefore present a clear picture of women’s growing influence. Their work continues to support the UAE’s development while inspiring younger generations to dream, create and lead.
Overall, Emirati women are leaders whose contributions extend across many fields. Their achievements and ambitions remain an important part of the UAE’s present and future.
