Shell<\/a>\u00a0UAE hosted an event to mark the occasion of Emirati Women\u2019s Day and highlight the vital role that the country\u2019s women play in leadership and empowerment.<\/p>\n

To celebrate,\u00a0Shell<\/a>\u00a0invited three Emirati women to speak about their accomplishments and experiences, as well as offer advice in terms of work-life balance and personal growth. The three speakers included Her Excellency Maytha Al Habsi, CEO of\u00a0Emirates Foundation<\/a>; Balqees Albastaki, Co-Founder and Chef of ByHB LLC, a UAE based catering business; and Aysha Binbraik, Reward Policy Adviser at\u00a0Shell<\/a>\u00a0UAE. The event took place on September 4th, 2019 at the\u00a0Dubai World Trade Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking at the event, H.E. Maytha Al Habsi, said: \u201cI would like to congratulate our long-standing partners\u00a0Shell<\/a>\u00a0for hosting this event, which celebrates the vital and growing role of women in our nation\u2019s journey of progress. Women\u2019s empowerment and advancement is not new to our nation. Our Founding Father Sheikh\u00a0Zayed<\/a>\u00a0has always believed in women\u2019s equal participation and shared responsibility. He encouraged the role of women in strengthening society\u2019s economic and social sectors and widened their participation scope in the advancement of our nation, helping them to take on full responsibility and leadership roles across all sectors\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIn this, the Year of Tolerance, which celebrates inclusiveness and equality, the role of women is once again at the forefront and as we look to our youth, we have a huge responsibility not just to deliver but also to excel and become role models for the generations to come.\u201d, Al Habsi added.<\/p>\n

Speaking on her experience, Balqees Albastaki stated: \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see organisations like Shell celebrating the achievements of Emirati women from various sectors and it\u2019s an honour to be part of this event. I’d like to thank the management and organisers for giving me the opportunity to share my experience and hopefully inspire women from all walks of life to take a leap of faith out of their comfort zones and follow their passion\u201d, adding that, \u201cWe are truly blessed as Emirati women to have the support of our leaders who have always made us feel that we’re actually at an advantage as opposed to being weighed down by gender or any other factors. May we all use these advantages to the betterment of our country, society and the generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event was organised by Shell\u2019s Women\u2019s Network and led by Shell\u2019s VP and Country Chairman for the UAE, Ali Al-Janabi, who said, \u201cShell has been in the Emirates for 80 years, and I am constantly inspired by the UAE\u2019s leadership when it comes to supporting women. With impressive examples in leadership like Her Highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak, Mother of the Nation, who has been a pioneer in terms of women\u2019s rights and empowerment; and examples in government, with nearly 30 percent of the UAE\u2019s cabinet being made up of women\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Shell, we believe in creating an inclusive culture where our staff can thrive. In the UAE, we have Emirati women working at various parts of the organisation including Human Resources, Business Development and Communications \u2013 to name a few. An inclusive work environment is key to innovating, developing and retaining talent.\u201d, added Al-Janabi.<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s attendees included representatives from\u00a0Emirates Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0Emirates Airlines<\/a>, Dubai World Trade Centre, Shell staff and their families, as well as others.<\/p>\n
