The United Arab Emirates has announced its determination to host a coordination office for the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, UN Women, with the support of H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union (GWU), Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, FDF, and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood.

Dr. Moza Al Shehhi, the U.A.E.'s representative to the UN Women's Empowerment entity, commended the entity's achievement in general in carrying out its functions and influence significantly in creating a supportive environment for the development plans in the field of gender equality and women's empowerment.
