As you all probably expected, that Sheikh Mohamed, of course, wouldn’t let the International Women’s Day go by without acknowledging women for all their efforts and contributions to the society. He did so by tweeting that women should be honored every day, not just one day a year, and wrote these gracious words directed to all women of the world!
٨ مارس يوم رائع وجميل لكل نساء العالم .. يوم المرأة العالمي .. يحتفل العالم بها .. ونحتفي بها في الامارات مربية أجيال وشريكة مسيرة وصانعة للتغير في المجتمعات .. كل عام وأنتن أقوى وأجمل وأكثر إشراقا وعطاء pic.twitter.com/BfzBTaLaKV

“March 8 is a wonderful and beautiful day for women all over the world. International Women’s Day is a day that the whole world celebrates. We celebrate women in the UAE as nurturers of our future generations, partners in development and change makers. I hope you grow every year in strength, radiant beauty, and generosity.” Said Sheikh Mohamed.
HH also added that “70 percent of my work team is comprised of women. I thank them on this and every day for their efforts. Without them, we would not be where we are today. I hope every minister and government official celebrates their efforts. With you, the UAE grows in strength and greatness.”
فريق عملي ٧٠٪ منه من النساء .. أشكرهن في هذا اليوم وكل يوم .. ولولا جهودكن لم نصل لما وصلنا اليه .. وأتمنى من المسئولين والوزراء الاحتفاء بهن وبجهودهن في هذا اليوم .. كل عام والإمارات أقوى وأعظم بكن pic.twitter.com/ZPs4rN7PFx

The UAE also holds its own Emarati Women’s Day on August 28 and 2017 marked its third consecutive year for this event.
