International Women's Day speaks of the role of women in society, however, it is also important to highlight those who work behind the scenes to preserve traditions and culture for future generations. Women guardians of heritage in the United Arab Emirates create decorations for homes from palm leaves, vibrant elements for celebrations and festivals, preserving and passing on the spirit of the nation.
One of such women states: "We are proud of the opportunity to create beauty that reflects our heritage and traditions. This is not just work, it is our calling to preserve the uniqueness of the culture of our ancestors and pass it on to future generations."
In the United Arab Emirates, the government provides women with all opportunities for success, encouraging them to engage in self-development and utilize their potential, while preserving at the same time their historical values.
