Letter Published in The National UAE on 18Feb 20

The UAE is a champion of gender equality
With regards Patrick Ryan's article Global Women's Forum Dubai: Ivanka Trump says many Middle East women have 'half' the legal rights of men (February 16): Ivanka Trump's comments on gender equality were good. I especially liked what she said about how when women are free to succeed, families thrive, communities flourish and nations grow strong. And I agree with her that it is incredible that last year more than 70 per cent of university graduates in the UAE were women.
The UAE's push for gender equality in its policies is commendable. The rest of the world can learn something.
