ADIB signs agreement with GWU to mark Emirati Women’s Day

Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) has joined forces with the General Women’s Union through a new agreement signed at GWU headquarters. This partnership strengthens the bank’s community programs and celebrates Emirati Women’s Day nationwide.

Senior leaders from both organizations signed the agreement to create opportunities for women’s growth and career development. ADIB shows its steadfast dedication to support national institutions that drive social progress and economic growth.

The signing ceremony showcased how this teamwork will boost opportunities for Emirati women, especially in financial services. This partnership comes at a perfect time as the General Women’s Union celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The agreement has programs that offer mentorship, training, and career growth for women. These programs want to put more women in leadership roles across public and private sectors.

On top of that, it includes joint research to study women’s economic impact and find new areas of growth. Both groups will roll out these programs throughout the year as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.

This alliance shows ADIB values women’s vital role in national development. It proves the bank’s ongoing support for inclusive growth across the Emirates.

ADIB supports heritage preservation through Guardians of Heritage

ADIB and the General Women’s Union have joined forces to support the ‘Guardians of Heritage’ initiative at GWU’s Handicrafts and Heritage Center. Their collaboration will help fund programs that preserve Emirati cultural traditions.

The bank demonstrates its dedication to help women protect traditional practices. These women play a vital role as partners who strengthen national identity and cultural legacy. The partnership will equip women in heritage preservation with opportunities for economic growth while they sustain cultural traditions.

Traditional Emirati crafts stand at the core of this program. Al Sadu weaving, Talli embroidery, and Khoos (palm frond weaving) showcase artistic expression. These skills help pass cultural knowledge from one generation to the next.

Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak’s vision aligns perfectly with the Guardians of Heritage initiative. She has built strong foundations for women’s progress in every sector over the years. Her guidance has created programs that preserve heritage and provide economic opportunities.

“We deeply value this initiative,” noted GWU representatives, highlighting how the bank’s dedication supports programs focused on preserving traditional crafts—elements they describe as “an essential part of our national identity and a key channel for passing values and knowledge to future generations”.

Leaders highlight shared vision for women’s empowerment

Officials from both organizations shared the same vision about advancing women’s role in society at the agreement signing ceremony. This partnership marks a vital step to support the national agenda for gender equality and women’s progress in all sectors.

ADIB representatives drew inspiration from Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak’s vision. Her leadership has created frameworks that guide national efforts to enable women in economic, social, and cultural spheres.

The ceremony’s executives stressed how investing in women’s capabilities drives sustainable development. ADIB officials made it clear that their partnership goes beyond symbolic support. They showed a practical commitment to create real chances for Emirati women in many fields.

“This agreement reflects our shared belief in the pivotal role women play in building our nation’s future,” remarked a senior ADIB executive. “We see this Golden Jubilee partnership as an investment in sustainable progress.”

GWU representatives emphasized how private sector involvement strengthens women’s empowerment initiatives. They thanked ADIB for supporting programs that preserve culture while creating economic opportunities.

The organizations reinforced their commitment to implement initiatives that will have lasting effects. They aim to develop women’s skills, preserve cultural heritage, and build leadership capabilities among future Emirati women leaders.

ADIB and the General Women’s Union have formed a mutually beneficial alliance that proves their dedication to strengthening women in the UAE. Their Golden Jubilee work marks a milestone that will boost female representation in sectors of all types.
