Expo City Dubai provides a venue for celebrating women; shedding light on gender equality
Expo City Dubai provides a venue for celebrating women’s accomplishments and victories, highlighting the issues they confront, and exploring ways to collaborate for a more inclusive society, according to Zawya.
The UAE’s early embrace of gender diversity had piqued the interest of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE)’s voting panel.
With a government that has 20% female minister participation, this was a bid from a young nation that has previously demonstrated that gender inclusion results in organizational serenity.
Expo 2020 Dubai was committed from the beginning to making a meaningful impact – an evergreen blueprint for a more balanced, equitable, human-centric world, showcased in a Dubai that was increasingly recognized for its sustainability and inclusiveness, the latter of which is a guiding principle of COP 28, which will be held at Expo City Dubai later this year.
Gender equality has been ingrained in the UAE’s Culture for over 50 years, as evidenced by the Women’s Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, the first Women’s Pavilion at a World Expo in the twenty-first century
Leading Dubai’s winning bid was UAE Minister of State Her Excellency Reem Ebrahim Al Hashimy, who was to become Director General of Expo 2020 Dubai and is a true ambassador of UAE founder Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s belief that women are and must be equal partners in the building of a nation.
It continues to gain global attention as an integral part of Expo 2020’s legacy city, Expo City Dubai, with content that embodies the achievements of female endeavor and the limitless possibilities that empowerment could offer
The Women’s Pavilion, a space for everyone, illustrates a fundamental rule: when women thrive, humanity flourishes.
The exhibition journey reaffirms a commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment, emphasizing that the only route to peace, prosperity, and sustainability is for women to participate fully and equally.
Furthermore, Expo City Dubai’s International Women’s Day flagship event, held recently at the Women’s Pavilion, celebrated the achievements of women at the forefront of saving the planet and highlighted the critical role of women in accelerating the transition to a more sustainable world.
Expo City Dubai will continue to drive gender equality, catalyzing dialogue that will support social progress with a firm belief in the principle that when women thrive, humanity thrives.
