From Foreign Waters

  Here’s something I want to share today. It’s about how the arab countries have been censured in the past for not giving ladies their merited rights. Be that as it may, another age of Arab ladies has been making up for lost time to their male partners and standing out as truly newsworthy.

In a statement issued by the UN agency to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), UN Women said, "The UAE has made significant strides towards equality and leads the MENA region in women’s empowerment, particularly given the recent legislations that offered women more rights and better protection.” "UN Women is proud of its longstanding relationship with the UAE Government, the General Women’s Union led by H.H.
