UAE Marks International Women’s Day with game-changing empowerment moves

Published

on

The UAE is marking International Women’s Day today (March 8) with a powerful statement – women’s empowerment is moving full speed ahead.

From smashing global gender rankings to securing top government roles, Emirati women are taking centre stage in the country’s unstoppable progress.

Breaking Barriers and Making History

The UAE has skyrocketed to 7th place globally in the 2024 Gender Inequality Index (GII), issued by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), securing its spot as the top performer in the region.

And that’s not all – the government is putting women in key leadership positions, with the recent appointment of Sana bint Mohammed Suhail as Minister of Family under the newly established Ministry of Family.

Women’s health is also getting a major boost with the launch of the National Policy for the Promotion of Women’s Health, ensuring top-quality healthcare for women across all stages of life.

Boardrooms, Business and Beyond

In a game-changing move for women in business, the Ministry of Economy now requires private joint-stock companies to have at least one woman on their board of directors – a huge win for gender equality in corporate leadership!

Meanwhile, the General Women’s Union has rolled out the Women’s Economic Empowerment Programme, giving young female entrepreneurs and business owners the tools they need to thrive in the UAE’s booming economy.

ICC Championship trophy final: What if weather plays spoilsport for New Zealand, India match?

Published

on

With rain disrupting multiple matches in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, all eyes are on the weather as India and New Zealand prepare for the March 9 final in Dubai. While Pakistan saw three washouts, Dubai has remained dry so far—but could that change on the big day?

What’s the weather forecast?

According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), there will be a change in the weather, as temperatures are expected to decrease over some western coastal areas, on Sunday and Monday, March 9 and 10. Some coastal, western and island areas can expect light rainfall on Sunday and Monday.

What happens if rain interrupts play?

If bad weather halts play on March 9, the ICC has scheduled a Reserve Day (March 10). Any match stoppages will see play resume from where it left off.

What if the rain washes out both days?

Unlike the semifinals — where the higher-placed group team advanced—the final cannot be decided this way. If no play is possible on both days, India and New Zealand will share the trophy.

Fans, however, are hoping for clear skies. Team Indian and the Black Caps last clashed for the white-ball tournament final in 2000 when Champions Trophy was called the ICC Knockout Trophy. New Zealand claimed their first ICC title with a four-wicket win over India.
