      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.

      Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Al Maktoum is no stranger to breaking records in the UAE, having become the first Emirati woman to join the Dubai Police as a helicopter pilot back in 2019.
      Now, the Dubai royal has broken another record in the world of aviation, becoming the first female to pilot the AW609 tiltrotor, an air vehicle which combines the operational versatility of a helicopter and the performance of an aeroplane.
      Her Highness piloted the groundbreaking aircraft at the US helicopter headquarters of Leonardo, a global high-tech player in Aerospace, Defence and Security, located in Philadelphia.

      Discussing her record-breaking experience, the former Emirates Woman cover star shared her pride at being able to reach a milestone further shattering “another glass ceiling for women”.
      “I’m thrilled to be the first female pilot to test this revolutionary aircraft,” she said in a statement per the Dubai Media Office. “It was not only a personal milestone but an opportunity to shatter another glass ceiling for women.

      “I always push myself beyond my limits to prove that if I can do it, it is also within the reach of anyone else who is determined enough to try.”
      She described the experience of piloting the AW609 tiltrotor as a “natural evolution of my piloting experience”, combining her experience as an Emirates commercial pilot and helicopter pilot for Dubai Police.

      “Aircrafts like the AW609 tiltrotor makes me feel really excited about the future of aviation, a future now open to more women who chose this industry,” she added.
      The innovative aircraft is a trailblazer in the aircraft space combining the take-off and landing vertically of the helicopter with the pressurised cabin, speed, altitude and endurance abilities of an aeroplane.
      Her Highness became the first Emirati royal to qualify as a commercial pilot for Emirates Airlines in 2016 and became the first Emirati woman to join the Dubai Police as a helicopter pilot in 2019.
