    Eleven women, eleven different stories this International Women’s Day.
    This year to mark International Women’s Day – Emirates Woman was delighted to invite some of the most respected women in the UAE to share their stories of womanhood, inspiration, and innovation.
    The campaign features 11 inspiring women in the region who’ve paved the way for entrepreneurs in the region. From being a fashion designer to creating a positive environment in the mental health space, each woman has played a pivotal role in Dubai and the region – and we are delighted to champion them today, and always.
