UAE ranks 18th on the UNDP Gender Inequality Index

Mohammed bin Rashid: We set a goal for the UAE Gender Balance Council to make the UAE one of the world’s top 25 countries in the field of gender balance by 2021. Even before the end of 2020, the UAE has been ranked No. 1 in the Arab world and 18th on the UNDP Gender Inequality Index.

We congratulate HH Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, the Mother of the Nation, on this accomplishment and thank the UAE Gender Balance Council team, headed by Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid, for their tireless efforts to empower women in the UAE.
