Global Impact, Local Action

Founded in Abu Dhabi, our chapter extends the UN Foundation's Girl Up mission. We empower young women to become advocates, fostering a new generation of leaders who champion gender equity through social skills development within Abu Dhabi and beyond.

Through structured programs and mentorship, we provide platforms for girls to contribute directly to "UAE 2031" and to "UN Sustainable Development Goals".

“Nothing makes me happier than to see women assume their rightful role in society and fulfil their potential. Nothing should stop the progress of women. Women have equal rights to me in assuming top positions, which befit their abilities and qualifications.” - Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan AlNahyan, Founding Father of UAE

Led by UAE's founding father's vision, we believe true leadership emerges when young women are equipped to shape their communities. Our initiatives are designed to cultivate confidence and provide platforms for social development of girls.
