Not sure what to gift your nearest and dearest? Vogue Arabia’s Emirati Women’s Day 2024 gift guide is here to save the day
August 28 marks Emirati Women’s Day 2024, a day for the United Arab Emirates to celebrate the incredible contributions made by the women of the nation to their homeland.
Like every year, Emirati Women’s Day 2024 carries a special theme. “We share for tomorrow” has been selected this year under the guidance of HH Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, the Mother of the Nation, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union (GWU), President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF). The idea behind the theme is to promote the idea of empowering all segments of society and adopt a more participatory approach to progress.
As the country continues to empower and celebrate its women, why not take out some time to celebrate the Emirati women closest to you on this special day? Whether you decide to treat your family members and friends with a unique meal, a relaxing spa session or a thoughtful gift, no form of appreciation will go unnoticed today.
