He added: 'The designation of the Emirati Women's Day 2025 theme, 'Hand in Hand, We Celebrate 50 Years,' reinforces the comprehensive development messages of the Year of Community and marks 50 years since the establishment of the General Women's Union in 1975. It affirms the partnership of Emirati women—past, present and future—in empowering society and advancing sustainable growth.'
