They said about her highness

H.H Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai

The UAE is proud of H.H. Sheikha Fatima as a historic woman leader who stood behind the founding father throughout his lifetime journey for building the nation and who has worked for more than three decades to support and empower the UAE woman. Apart from her tremendous responsibilities, Sheikha Fatima has groomed and built national political leaders. We are very proud of them and of their achievements. Honouring the Mother of Nation (by awarding her the Mohammed bin Rashid Sash), is dedicated to every mother in the UAE. This recognition is not only from me but from the people of the UAE, and in particular from the daughters of the UAE as mothers, women workers and girl students, and even from orphans, physically-challenged persons and other groups of the community. Sheikha Fatima's achievements have had a direct impact on their lives throughout decades of sincere national action
