Abu Dhabi Ports celebrates Emirati Women’s Day

Dr. Noura Al Dhaheri, General Manager of Maqta Gateway, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Ports, President of Abu Dhabi Ports’ Women’s Committee, and Chairman of the Research and Development Committee, also commented: “This is a special day for women across the nation – a nation I am proud to call my own. We are blessed with exceptional role models such as H.H. Sheikha Fatima, and it is thanks to her efforts and commitment to empowering women that I am in this position today.

“H.H. Sheikha Fatima has always been a strong advocate for women’s empowerment and calls for females to play a greater role in the nation’s progress. She once said that there are no limits to what women can achieve in all fields, and the role women play at Abu Dhabi Ports is a testament to that call. It is my absolute honour to oversee the empowerment of women in this company as the President of Abu Dhabi Ports’ Women’s Committee and I look forward to witnessing first hand further growth in our industry, and ultimately the growth and success of the UAE.”

“Abu Dhabi Ports and the UAE is ahead of the game in gender equality and leading the way in terms of female empowerment,” said Jameela Hamad Al Junaibi, Vice President of Corporate Marketing & Communications at Abu Dhabi Ports. “Our women have unlimited potential, and H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, has set such a strong example for our country – both men and women – in terms of her vision, commitment, ambition and generosity. This is very important. Here in the UAE, the support from our leaders and from our families is tangible; you can feel it at work, at home, and in our communities. Women are accepted as leaders. By celebrating the success of our mothers, our daughters, our sisters, we can be an example for the world.”

Noura Rashid Al Dhaheri, Cruise Terminal Manager at Abu Dhabi Ports and the First Woman in the Middle East to hold this position, also commented: “Today we see our fellow women are dreaming big and through the vision of H.H. Sheikha Fatima and the support of our leadership, our employers and our families, those dreams have become a reality as we work side by side with our male counterparts to bring in a new era for UAE’s economy. At every step, we have been encouraged and guided by the company to fulfil our potential and have been entrusted with leadership roles. Abu Dhabi Ports has enabled us to take the helm and direct the company to new horizons. Today, the UAE proudly has female ministers, professors, doctors, pilots, and seafarers, and it fills me with pride to be part of this great country.”
