    Five women, five incredible stories.
    This year, to mark the seventh annual Emirati Women’s Day, Emirates Woman is proud to champion these five individuals – equestrian rider Amna Banihashem; communications manager of Museum of the Future, Fatma Al Mheiri; co-founder of RollDXB, Alia Al Banna; artist and curator Sarah Alagroobi; and beauty entrepreneur Wdeema Almheiri – all of whom have a different story to share.
    Shot in five separate locations, individuals exemplify the diversity of the UAE and its mission to put women at the forefront, showcasing Emirati women are forces to be reckoned with.
    Back in April, Sheikha Fatima announced the theme of this year’s Emirati Women’s Day is ‘Inspiring Reality… Sustainable Future’.
    Upon announcing the theme for 2022, Sheikha Fatima praised the women of the UAE saying “Emirati women have proven that there is no task that is impossible, due to their hard work and innovation”, something which these women embody unconditionally.
    Since the inception of the UAE in 1971 under the leadership and guidance of the late Sheikh Zayed, women’s empowerment continues across the nation and this year’s Emirati Women’s Day will highlight this.
    As a diverse nation rich in heritage and culture, Emirati women are the backbone of the UAE, something which these five women share in the teaser below.

    Leading contemporary luxury lifestyle and fashion publication Emirates Woman has launched the 2.0 version of its website.
    Emirates Woman thinks globally and supports locally. As the region’s leading women’s fashion and lifestyle brand and with over 40 years – originally established in 1981 – at the forefront of publishing in the Middle East, it remains dedicated to providing editorial excellence. Emirates Woman delivers high-end fashion, beauty, luxe lifestyle and travel content as well as in-depth features with both a global and local focus.
    It pushes boundaries and leads the field with its international and local editorial content, bringing its readers innovative, inspiring and intelligent coverage. Committed to representing the many faces and nationalities of women in the Emirates, it continually seeks to celebrate, support and inspire.
    The new look of the website is in line with the rebrand of the print magazine which occurred in February 2020 and has seen growth in global luxury brands partnering with the title across all platforms from digital to print, social and now with a view to web 3. The new website is designed to deliver an enhanced reader experience for our audience with dual language across Arabic and English to match the appetite of the ever-growing regional and international audience.
    Two new additions to the digital platform include ‘The Hero Buys’ which feature dedicated, curated must-have pieces to shop and ‘The Most Incredible Women We Know’ that champions the female leaders in the region and globally with whom the brand has close relationships.
    Amy Sessions, Editor/Associate Publisher of Emirates Woman and Emirates Man said: “I am beyond proud of what the team produce across all platforms on a daily basis. Aligning digital with print in terms of aesthetics was important, as the quality of the content has been aligned since the team came together in February 2020 and now the look and feel match the tone of voice. We are very proud to be championing not only homegrown talent and incredible women of the GCC but also the global luxury partnerships we have grown and will continue to foster. We are all about quality content and real, long-term, win-win relationships.”
