The awarding body described her as a modern example of conscious female leadership, combining vision, institutional engagement, and community influence. The recognition from the Davos platform highlights the growing global appreciation of the Emirati approach to women’s empowerment and the rising international presence of Emirati women in thought, culture, and humanitarian fields.
