the pic.see descriptionKhaleejia said: I decided to make this post about Great Success that have reached by women in UAE for the last decade. May be for someone it will become more clear to understand the World of Arab woman that has been so dramatically changed from the simple Bedouin's life style about less then 50 years ago till the luxury and independence approaching to the 21st Century. But must say that according to me this changes have two sides of one medal. Anyway lets look at the one of them. As i believe that true love to your work can make history and improve your life and life of the people that are around you.
"In my work and in our family gatherings I have closely been watching women in the Emirates, and I am in great admiration of them ... and I never fail to be amazed at the way in which they combine modernity with Arab and Muslim traditions," she said.
"I have so much respect for the way they balance the two, and genuinely believe that an Emirati woman can serve as an example of a modern Muslim woman, to the rest of the Arab and Muslim worlds ... They are proof to me that an Arab woman can be modern without feeling the need to be Westernized, as exemplified in the role of Sheikha Fatme" the president of the General Women's Union, and widow of the former president of the U.A.E. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan, she said.
"I am not saying that we should not exert efforts across the Arab and Muslim worlds to further better our chances on the legal and socio-economic and political fronts, but we must respect the women's choices themselves and encourage those who simply want to live according their own dreams," she added.
Air
Two Emirati women Aisha and Salma became the first Etihad's ever female cadet pilots! Their faces appeared on the pages of the 100 greatest women in aviation book that brought them (and every woman in the gulf region) more confident in their future. At this time Etihad Airways has over a half of a hundred Emirati cadet pilots training at Horizon, four of which are female,the first class of seven cadets were qualified for their airline transport pilot license (ATPL) in December 2008. Aisha said, “My sister is a pilot with the UAE armed forces and so female aviators throughout history have always played an important part in my life. My inclusion in this book is a great inspiration and I look forward to flying the flag for female Emirati pilots across the world with Etihad.” This month two new classes for Emirati cadet pilots of Etihad programme again start their work inviting more women.
Travel
Maitha Jasem,Amani Nasser, Shayma Al Reyami, Wa'ad Al Mansouri, - the female version of the Emirati Traveller Group that drove around the UAE filming everything on the tape. So what is the reason of such action? Awad Bin Mejren, the group leader said, "In ancient times, women had lots of responsibilities in life. They played so many roles And as modern women, we have been promoted to senior positions. We now want to emphasize that we women can do what men do," 
I personally like what Maitha said,"Emirati women can reach higher levels and preserve their traditions too."

Some part of the winners' speech:
Noor Saif Nasser Moahmmed Al Suwaidi told the audience: "What makes us qualified to be future leaders is based on what we do today as university students, from gaining experience to learning new tools. It is what you are today that gives you the reasons to become a future leader, and my reason for wanting to become a leader is the love I have for my country and community."
Mona Mohammed Abdulla Mohammed Musmari expressed her worries saying:"I think it is very difficult to lead today when people are not truly participating in decisions. If you don't give people an opportunity to really be engaged, they won't stay."

Fatima Al Ghasimi: Al Ghasimi graduated in June 2007 and opened her own jewelry company in July 2006. She studied Jewelry Management, a course sponsored by Damas. She is also a member in Hamad Bin Rashid Institution that supports Youth programs.
Al Ghasmi sees that women's role in business has clearly grown. 'Today, we see many local women at the executive level. This is something we haven't seen before and it encourages all other women to lead their way in the business world and many housewives are gaining ambition to go out and start their own business.'

Khdijah Al Bloushi: Al Bloushi graduated last year from the Information section of DWC. She has already received a number of job offers, including from Sama Dubai TV, which she is most likely to take.
Al Bloushi believes that being a DWC student helped her greatly receiving these offers. 'In DWC, we really get all the needed training to join the world of business. What we have learned here made us wanted by many companies, especially the information section students, who apply everything they learn immediately.'
She adds: 'Personally, I volunteered a lot, including making films for different campaigns. These activities usually come through the Students Council to which I was the vice president. We used to organize a lot of activities in cooperation with other colleges and this has added much to my resume.'
Al Bloushi agrees that women have a strong presence in the business community today. However, she assures that Emirates women have previous experience in business, but that it didn't as much of an international reach as it does today.
'Life has changed and thoughts have changed. This paved the way for local women to enter into the business world. And one of the basic facilitators here is the governmental support.'
In partnership with her colleague, Al Bloushi hopes to establish a private production company within 10 years. She confesses: 'We have all the potential, along with the team we want to work with, which consists 100 per cent of locals.'

LAW
Khouloud Ahmed Jawan Al Dhaheri made a history by becoming the first national woman judge in the UAE
Here I presented articles that represent only one of the sides of the medal I hope nobody will understand me wrong now,I just want to say that there is something else to be said as it is really important as for the growing position women in UAE as for the every woman in the world… so, to be continued..
emirati women should really stick their hair back inside their hijabs.
ReplyDeleteAnge,agree ,actually every woman should cover her properly. 30% girls in Emirate have tend to show out at least their bangs as they re oriented on the west but religiousness of women (or men) still on the first place to be accepted in the society. Fashion, glamour and luxury that have been faced for the last 10-20 years by the emiratis became such a temptation that affected the youngest,but the women in emirate comparing with same women in other arab countries are one of the most respected, traditional, religious and same time modern women. reaching the high position she keeps on shaila on her head as nowdays unfortunatly hardly find somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteofcourse.. i love the fact they they wear beautiful abayas - its just a shame about the hair poking out.
ReplyDeleteSalaamualaikum!
ReplyDeleteFirstly i LOVE ur blogs, i love the khaleeji lifestyle, but i get so sad when i see most of it because to me, they're not very religious. not speaking for all, but especially the women. it seems the more they get into fashion and "westernization" the more islam they LOSE, and i really pray that women can find the balance. even the kind of UAE is rediculous and seems to have no islamic value aside from the way he dresses. :( sad man!
inshaallah all is well but other than that i think mixing fashion with covering PROPERLY is a very good thing to blog about!!
