On August 28th 2019, The United Arab Emirates celebrated the fifth annual Emirati Women’s Day with special events, talks and gatherings across the region.
But one event that was particularly important was the Emirati Women In Business panel discussion held by The Dubai Business Women Council (DBWC) in collaboration with Dubai Economy.
