Top 10 Indian Women Leaders in UAE - 2021

Women's participation in the workforce is increasing and this is contributing not only to their empowerment but is also strengthening the national economy. More women in the workplace not only ensures gender equality but also enhances organisational effectiveness and growth. This ultimately leads to a stronger national economy. Access to education, finance and transportation are some of the factors for this rise. Apart from cultural and social norms, gender inequities and the lack of enabling conditions in the workplace make it tough for women to accomplish their goals. But with several policies on women's education and well-being, women today are no less than their male counterparts.

Many woman leaders have attained new heights in the UAE, with some being global conglomerates to others who are leading international companies. Second-generation business leaders have established a strong foot here and contributed to the booming startup ecosystem. UAE has actively championed gender equality as a national priority and has been consistently ranked as one of the leading countries for gender equality in its region by the World Economic Forum. Increased awareness and diversity are some of the key factors for this significant rise in the female workforce. The government is striving hard to empower women and provide them with equal opportunities. Women's status in UAE has seen a parallel growth along with the country's growth. Women are contributing to the country's government and economy and are a vital part of the nation's workforce.
