Arab International Women's Forum
The UAE women have become a key player in all walks of public life, including business, socioeconomic development, and politics, boasted Economy Minister Lubna Al Qasimi.
In her keynote opening address at the Arab International Women's Forum (AIWF) which opened yesterday at Dubai International Financial Centre, Sheikha Lubna expressed pride at the strides made by the UAE women.
"Women finance 32% of the transactions of the financial and banking sector, hold 20% of management jobs and 22.5% of the seats of the Federal National Council," she said.
The two-day forum is being held under the patronage of Princess Haya bint Al Hussein. Entitled "Powering the Future: Arab Business Women in a Modern Economy", this important event provides a focal point for increased communication, networking and information exchange between the City of Dubai and the City of London with the broader Arab world and the international financial community.

The "Arab International Women's Forum," a two-day forum being held under the patronage of Princess Haya bint Al Hussein is appreciated by this American woman who became a biographee in WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA in 2001. Entitled "Powering the Future: Arab Business Women in a Modern Economy", the forum is especially important as it is under the patronage of Princess Haya bint Al Hussein of Jordan, the wife of the distinguished ruler of Dubai.
Princes Haya is well known throughout the world for her marvelous work regarding thoroughbred horses and their riders and for her good achievements towards spreading the Message of Peace for which she was honored by the Secretary General of the United Nations in September 2007. It is noteworthy that great Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim, who was also so honored by the UN in September 2007, today accepted honorary citizenship from the Government of Palestine, a symbolic act reflecting the shared core spiritual dimension values of all of the Semitic prophets from Abraham and Moses through Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them).
